| Jul 27, 2020 at 21:18 | comment | added | Allan | Wish more users had your line of thinking. Too many buy the most expensive Macs, no AppleCare or insurance then looks for "free everything" don't do backups then scream when they give it a drink of water or some other liquid while at the coffee shop. | |
| Jul 27, 2020 at 21:18 | comment | added | Nat | For your work around, I already power my USB-C hub so that I can shut the lid on my macbook when it's connected to my two monitors. That still doesn't work :( | |

| Jul 27, 2020 at 21:15 | comment | added | Nat | I would never not insure any products of that value. Thank god that I did! I'd imagine they'd take it back and give me a new one sadly. It's the model with only two USB-C ports so kinda need the second port. | |
| Jul 27, 2020 at 21:13 | comment | added | Allan | Things just happen - the quality of ICs are not what they used to be (like everything else). It's good that you have it insured. I'd probably take it in to Apple to see what the repair cost is (if the insurance company lets you keep it). If not, it has salvage value to the repair shops. They will strip the logic board for those components that haven't failed so they can fix other logic boards. | |
| Jul 27, 2020 at 21:10 | comment | added | Nat | Yep, I imagined. It barely want to charge my iPhone let alone do anything else. I have no clue what caused this? How can something on the logic board just go? I have barely used the ports. Apparently some USB-C hubs can cause problems? Luckily I have it insured and I'll just get a brand new macbook tomorrow. I have tried the SMC reset, still nothing. I'll backup my Mac, perform a clean install on it and see if it fixes it, if not Ill get a replacement. | |
