Hi there!
I am having the same shut down issue with my MacBook Air...
I've done everything, SMC & PRAM reset, unplugged internally the battery cable... bypass, you name it.
My coconut battery displays as is all good.
I has been !&&* for me to totally deplete the battery as it goes off automatically but I have been patient and managed to totally and absolutely drain it all, and then full 100 per cent. (twice)
But the same same same... keeps shutting off.
I live in a little remote island (Samoa), and If I don't fix it, nobody will.
Please, any advise... lit a candle to a Saint.... any advice! :)
Thank You! Alvar

I bet @danj knows the answer :)...
The behaviour, after totally depleting the battery and SMC etc seems the same:
* You turn on, goes on, starts well, goes off
* Turn on, doesn't
* Turn on, goes on half way, then shuts down on its own
* Turn on, goes all the way, play a movie 1 min, shuts down on its own
* Turn on, doesn't go on
* Turn on, 2 secs, shuts down on its own
* Turn on, goes almost all the way, shuts down on its own
After I fully depleted the battery etc, seems to be the same behavior, maybe a bit better? mmm... Not sure about that, feels almost the same.
Should I be persistent and cycle the battery more times???
That is my question @danj
Thanks so much
Alvar
