[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1944512, member: 396914"] Can you tell us exactly what model it is? That should be printed on the box. That information will give us some idea of the age. Your title said "A2141," and if that is the model, it is a MacBook Pro, 16 inch, from 2019, last sold in October of 2021. So it's between 3 and six years old. That model number was used on MBP16,1 and MBP16,4, which were different variants. But tell us what is on the box label to be sure. From your description, the first thing I would suspect is that the battery has died. Even if not used, Lithium batteries start to decay two years after manufacture, and if that machine is now five, pushing six, the battery may well be dead. It's a good machine, albeit a bit old now. It can run the latest version of macOS, although it may not be able to run the next version, due to be released in Sept/Oct. It's not in warranty, but you might take it to an Apple store to ask them to diagnose what is going on. If you ask nicely, they may be willing to test it for you and may even be able to have the battery replaced (for a fee) with a genuine Apple battery. [/QUOTE]
