2 Replaced Magsafe2 connector: new one isn't charging, and no lights
Just installed a new Magsafe2 board on my MBP15” Retina mid2014, along with a new battery. (The old setup worked ok, but contacts were worn and heating the connector, and the battery was getting weak.)
The system powers up ok on the new battery (showing >90% fwiw), but when connecting the Magsafe2 the light doesn’t come on at all, and it won’t charge. (Same symptom with two different known good chargers.)
When connected, the taskbar icon shows the lightning bolt. The menu indicates “Power Source: Power Adapter”, but “Battery Not Charging”. Tried resetting the SMC, didn’t change anything.
Any ideas before I tear it down again to try swapping back the old Magsafe2 board?
(Edit - added screengrabs of coconutBattery and the taskbar battery menu)
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Thanks for the reply, Dan!
Posted screengrabs of coconutBattery as well as the taskbar battery menu.
Also: repaired disk permissions and reset the NVRAM and PRAM after finding this iFixit troubleshooting article: https://help.ifixit.com/article/73-batte...
Lastly, re-opened the case and double-checked proper mounting, connection and clearance of the Magsafe2 board.
