Hi again.
I replaced a display assembly on a A2681 with an aftermarket assembly.
The replacement assembly included the lid sensor on the right hand hinge.
However the unit will not turn on unless USBC power is applied.
When it boots OSX, and I login, the system reports the battery at 1% and not charging.
If I unplug it, it immediately turns off.
Within System information - Power, I can see use the remaining capacity and serial number of the battery OK.
It is not the battery sense resistor near the display connectors - it looks fine, and from memory, the battery would not be detected at all if the resistor is missing.
I always make sure the battery is disconnected prior to plugging or unplugging cables.
Should I transfer the existing lid sensor cable to the new display?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Josh
