    MacBook Pro Retina not detecting charger.

    Hi guys I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15" Late 2013 (I think) .. one day whilst connecting the Magsafe 2 Charger there was a little bit of static spark around the port and from that point on it wouldn't detect the charger, i.e no lights at all on the charger. I bought a new charger and verified it...

    Safe to use 96W USB-C power adaptor for MagSafe2 2015 15” MacBook Pro

    My friggin’ cat has chewed through my MacBook Pro power cable for the THIRD TIME! My MacBook Pro is a mid-2015 15” Retina, which takes a MagSafe2 connector. The standard Apple power brick for this model is 85W (18.5v / 4.6A). I’ve had this idea that I could use one of the newer Apple USB-C...

    Is it safe to buy a MagSafe 2 charger if it’s sold by Amazon itself?

    I found this on Amazon which seems to be selling for significantly cheaper than anyone else. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009VOFRYU/ Any idea if this is an OEM charger? I generally wouldn’t trust it but this one says it’s shipped and sold by Amazon.

    Charging solution for older MacBook Pro

    Wanted to share that the combination of: Satechi 108W USB-C charger plus USB-C to MagSafe cable charges my 2015 MacBook Pro like a champ. I was previously unsuccessful with a 45W Anker USB-C charger. Since the cable is what always fails (for me) on the Apple charger this is an ideal...

    Magsafe Power delay.

    Hi everyone, Has the time come to say bb to my Magsafe 2? After I connect it after 1-10-hr breaks, the indicator won’t show any lights for 10-70 seconds. After I connected my rMBP to another Magsafe at a shop, the shop’s indicator switched on immediately. So did my old adaptor when I...

    I've been checking eBay for replacement Magsafe 2 adapters (MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) and realize most of the advertised, bargain-priced adapters are counterfeit. However, I am seeing some, also at relatively low prices, advertised as "Brand New in Sealed Box", with images...

    Can I use my 2013 MacBook Pro power extension cable for my 2017 MacBook Pro?

    My late-2013 MacBook Pro that uses the 85W MagSafe 2 power adapter comes with a power adapter extension cable. However my 2017 MacBook Pro doesn't have the extension cable for 87W USB-C power adapter, just the electrical plughead. Are there any issues if I use the 85W MagSafe 2 power adapter...
