Do you have a MacBook Pro? Is it getting hot while charging? Then, apparently, you are charging it on the wrong side. Because there is always the right way to charge electronic devices. And, doing it in the wrong way will eventually lead to several issues- overheating is one of the most common problems among them. 

Moreover, charging the new models of MacBook in an improper way can even decline its overall performance. You will get random system crash and sluggish behaviour in the MacBook Pro for changing it on the left side. Every problem has a potential solution associated with it. Likewise, this MacBook Pro also comes with a simple solution. Simply, change the charging positions, only change it using the ports on the right side of the device.

It was also noticed that this charging issue is only encountered with the USB-C MacBook Pro models. When you charge the laptop, it will start to generate heat. The fan also starts to spin in an unusual manner and which ultimately increases the overall heat. 

So, whenever you come across such a scenario, it will be always better to get in touch with Macbook Repair Dubai for immediate solutions. There are also other issues that trigger this problem, let’s see what those are. 

Possible Reasons for MacBook Pro Charging Problem 

Some of the MacBook Pro users report having struggled with several problems because of charging the device on the left side. Problems in the kernel-task process are the most reported one so far. Additionally, they have stated that the device is waking up suddenly because of charging it on the wrong side. 

Even at times, the MacBook Pro stops responding. But, it turned out that the root cause of the problem was not the kernel-task but rather it was the situation that the device is going through. The forcibly charging of the device on the wrong side is the main cause of this problem. 

Moreover, based on the current research, it was shown that, within four minutes, as soon as you plugin, in the charger port, the device starts to act in an uncanny way. From the USB-C port to the HDMI adapter, the temperature mainly detects a heat spike. High CPU usage is one of the prime reasons that is causing problems in the left-side port of MacBook Pro. 

Recently, Apple has come up with a possible answer regarding the charging problem. They stated that the kernel_task process, the main component that controls the processor temperature of the macOS. 

Moreover, it also controls the temperature of the Mac fan. So, when the Mac Operating system detects a slight change of temperature, it forces the kernel_task to start spinning the fans. So, when you are plugging the charging cables in the left-hand ports, Kernel_Task possibly goes out of order and that heats up the device. 

Solutions to this Mac Problem

The same thing does not repeat, while you are using the right-hand charging port. Even though the charging ports get a little hot during the charging process. But the Kernel_Task didn’t restrict the MacOS to perform at its optimum level The MacBook Pro doesn’t even slow down its performance due to this problem. 

The reason why this situation arises is yet to be disclosed by Apple. Even, some of the users have exemplified that, after updating the MacOs, they are most likely encountering this problem. Until then, they had no problem while using the left-side charging port. So, until the next macOS update, just avoid using the left-hand side charging port. Probably after a new update, you will be permanently able to solve the problem. 

MacBook Pro Models Linked with this Problem

Not every model of MacBook Pro will face problems while plugging in the left-side port. There are few MacBook Pro models that mainly generate this particular problem. Most likely, the MacBook Pro that got released in 2017 and 2019 is getting similar results. 

What should be Your Next Step?

Apple has not yet stated any comment on these findings. They are trying their best to help the users to overcome this hurdle. The developers are working on the default charging port of the Mac Devices. They are also planning to come up with a new Battery Health Management system that will consist of the latest beta for macOS 10.15.5. 

We don’t even know if it will fix this problem or not, but let’s hope for the best. And, for further assistance, you can always rely on MacBook Repair Dubai. The professional team will help you out with a possible solution that too at a competitive price.
