MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017: MacBook lento dopo cambio batteria

Sat, 13 Sep 2025 07:22:46 -0700

Ho sostituito la batteria, e tutto è andato Bene, il mac funziona e si accende. Ma è incredibilmente lento come se fosse andato in protezione e funzionasse a neanche il 50%. Ho ripristinato smc e pram e riparato il Disco, ho letto di cancellare un file .plist ma non sono riuscito a trovare il file corrispondente al mio modello e comunque non mi permetteva di spostarlo Nel cestino. Sarei infinitamente grato a chi mi aiuta. Grazie

Sat, 06 Apr 2024 07:49:47 -0700

Possiedo un MacBook Pro con la scheda logica danneggiata, intendevo sostituirla con una migliore (vorrei passare da quella i5 8gb RAM a quella i7 16gb RAM).

La mia domanda é la seguente: posso prenderne una con caratteristiche migliori rispetto alla precedente? Funziona anche se non ho il software per aggiornare il seriale del dispositivo?

MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017: Il computer non risponde quando aperto troppo

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 07:49:00 -0700

Il computer sembra funzionare correttamente, fino a quando non apro lo schermo ad un'angolatura superiore ai 95°~, il monitor procede a spegnersi lasciando acceso il computer. È un problema riconosciuto da apple e offrivano riparazione gratuita fino a 4 anni ma oramai questo tipo di "Garanzia" non è più disponibile. Come posso procedere?

Thu, 25 Nov 2021 14:44:32 -0700

Ciao a tutti, come da titolo ho dei problemi con il mio Mac.

Collegando il pc ad uno schermo esterno ho effettuato la “Diagnosi Apple” ed i problemi riscontrati sono stati i seguenti:

* VFD001 (Problema con il monitor)

NDC001 (problema con la videocamera).
Questi due codici di errori a quale parte hardware potrebbero essere correlati?

Inoltre collegando il Mac ad uno schermo esterno, riesco a visualizzare qualcosa solo quando entra in modalità recupero.

Qualcuno sa aiutarmi? grazie

MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017: MacBook battery cable Problem

Tue, 05 May 2026 05:06:33 -0700

Hello, I have a 2017 MacBook Pro 13-inch. I recently replaced the screen, and after the repair, the laptop would not power on unless it was connected to a high-wattage charger. It does turn on with the AC adapter, but there is an “X” over the battery icon, and if I unplug the charger, the laptop immediately shuts off.

I suspect the issue may be the battery ribbon cable, which I’ve already ordered, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or knows what the problem might be.

Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017: Why am I getting weird artifacts?

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 07:49:42 -0700

As the picture shows, there are white dots on the external display, the internal display is broken. These dots are not still, they move around the screen and sometimes a large part of the screen sometimes is covered in artifacts of all colors. This stopped for a short period of time where it connected and worked flawlessly and began again going into recovery mode and now I cannot stop it. Now with these arficats, it does not connect well and disconnects from the HDMI often. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

My MacBook Pro A1708 after start up shows stripes on picture at the upper section of screen. Progressively you can see more of this from upwards to downwards while the picture becomes clear from upwards to downwards. It takes 8-10 minutes and at the end there is a clear screen without any distortion until next start up. Please help! Any idea?

Hi I replaced the battery, and it doesn't seem to be detecting it. If I unplug it from the wall it shuts down, also the fan is running and has not ever stopped. I have had it plugged in to the wall for several hours now

MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017: Battery not detected after a new install.

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 20:00:07 -0700

I installed the battery as per the instructions, which went fine... on trying to boot up the mac, it is NOT detecting any battery and shows up the battery initially in the menu bar with a "X".
in the battery settings, I dont think it detects any battery.

What should be the most likely issue?

in trying to insert the battery board data cable, I broke the top flap of the cable, which I believe protects/covers the actual connector. I have attached a pic of the connector and I did ensure that the lock is in place. Can you help understand if the connector looks OK and inserted enough?

I had a macbook with what i thought was just a dead logic board, but upon replacing it the computer still doesnt boot. With the known working board, it does get warm around the charging port which the previous motherboard did not. I have tried a pram and smc reset, no changes.

I am a little confused on what to do next ... I am not very tech savvy so I really do need to instruction - thanks Kristina

MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017: New battery not working

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 05:58:41 -0700

Hi,

Added a new battery today and not Good so far.

The device only powers on with power cable connected.

It won't turn on straight away when I press the power button, if takes a minute or so then comes on.

When I originally put the trackpad back and notice a spark, would this device be shot here even of its turning on at the moment?

I've also just ordered another BMC flex cable.

Help appreciated

Here you go on images

UPDATE - Just noticed I didn't unclip the BMU when removing.

Also, the connector to the battery board came out when installing.

1. Could these be broken if yanked out not pulled out with the clip open?

2. Does a new cable solve this? If yes I'll need to wait a few days till it arrives to conclude on this!

3. My god Apple complicate things on mainboards lol. You need to be Tom Thumb

Update - just tried multimeter on new battery and got readings so suggests it isn't a dud battery?

MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017: What if I broke the clip on the sister ribbon connector

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 20:26:25 -0700

as I was replacing the battery I accidentally pulled the sister ribbon off on both ends. As I was trying to reconnect it I think I broke the cable latch on the big side. It isn't detecting the battery, it will not hold a charge and will not work if unplugged from the wall and the fan stay on the whole time also the key board isn't working . I took it to a repair shop and they said they reconnected it with the old ribbon and told me that the new ribbon that I purchased from Ifixit wasn't the correct ribbon. She told me that I would have to keep it plugged if I want to use it and that I would need to use an external key board!! Well this is the reason I replaced the battery as it wasn't holding a charge unless being plugged in. Maybe I messed it up - wondering if I just need to ditch the project and buy a new one...not really in my budget but I need a working lap top

MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017: Laptop doesn't turn on

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 01:44:57 -0700

Hey all,

I've got the laptop from a friend that said that he spilled some coffee on it. Currently the device won't turn on not matter what I've tried.

I've opened the backpanel and saw that the track flex connector seems a little burnt and the ZIF connector on the board itself seem to be broken.

I've tried to turn the device on while the trackpad is disconnected without any luck.

My question is, could that prevent the device from turning on? Or there might other issue be causing that?

Thanks.

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 16:30:17 -0700

I have a headless (broken screen) macbook which I was able to reinstall Mac-os onto using an external display, however when attempting to install Linux, guides show that you need to hold the option key in order to choose to boot from a USB, however when I attempt to do this on with an external display, I do not get an image on the display. It works fine in mac-os however had some issues with artifacts in the past so I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, it is an issue with the Macbook or it cannot display the boot menu on external displays.

MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017: Keyboard and Trackpad Stopped Working

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 04:46:23 -0700

Hello all,

I have a 2017 Macbook Pro 13” function keys. Almost 3 weeks ago, I was using my laptop then all of a sudden the keyboard and trackpad stopped working. Even during boot, it does not recognize either of them. I cannot run SMC reset or anything. It is currently stuck in recovery mode telling me to turn on my mouse or trackpad since the internal device is not detected. I tried connecting a mouse and keyboard and the mouse worked fine, but I think the keyboard I was using was acting funny. I am going to try and get a hold of an Apple Keyboard and Trackpad or Mouse and see what I can figure out with an SMC reset and Apple Diag.

I took it to an Apple Store about two weeks ago, they took it to the back for 10-20 minutes, and couldn’t get anything to work. They didn’t give me many details on what they did, other than checking the connections and reseating them. They quoted me almost $500 to get it fixed because they were unsure if it was the trackpad and keyboard or logic board, but for double that I could buy a new laptop, so of course, I walked out.

I work on computers for a living, so obviously I’m fine with working on these, I was just seeing if I could get some free diag from Apple, but nope. Has anyone had a similar issue? I plan on running these commands tonight, hopefully, to see what I can come up with. I will post the results.

Thanks in advance,

Austin D.
