Hi, so I actually have a 2016 MacBook Air 13”. My battery was messed up and only worked with the power adapter because I spilled ice tea on it I went to Apple, which they ran a Diagnostic and found that only the battery showed malfunctioning. I got a new battery. I just change my battery less then 10 mins ago and there’s still a big x in my battery sign. Any suggestions?
the X means that the battery is not being recognized. this can be because the ‘new’ battery is bad or the wrong model for your mac. It is also possible that the fluid damage, damaged your logic board as well, and that the connector doesn’t recognize any battery. I’d recommend having your macbook checked out by someone who can repair water damage. they can tell you what the issue is.
