Hey guys I’ve got a 2012 MacbookPro 13” It used to barely hold charge with the power cord connected. I used it till it hit 0% and now with the charger plugged it it does nothing. There is no light on the charger but every time I disconnect the charger the battery level indicator on the side of the laptop flashes. Is this an issue with the laptop or charger? *Battery replaced with used low charge cycle usage battery as troubleshooting step.
