Hello,

Macbook won't charge. Battery health is 100%

I tried with another new adapter and cable and it didn't work. No software update.

The yellow light blinks when the cable is plugged in.



What is the problem?

Are you using the original 35w or 70w charger it comes with? If not, try using the original and see if the issue persists. Otherwise follow the steps below outlined by Apple.

If the indicator light flashes​

If your battery is charging or charging is on hold, the indicator light glows amber. If the indicator light on the MagSafe 3 connector flashes amber repeatedly, try these steps:
  1. Disconnect the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable from your Mac and from the power adapter.
  2. Disconnect the USB-C power adapter from the wall outlet.
  3. Use a dry cloth to wipe the MagSafe 3 port and MagSafe 3 connector. Make sure both the port and connector are dry and clear of any debris.
  4. Make sure the USB-C port on the power adapter and the USB-C connector are clear of any debris.
  5. Restart your Mac.
  6. Connect the USB-C power adapter to the wall outlet, connect the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable to the power adapter and to your Mac, then try charging again.
If the indicator light continues to flash repeatedly, contact Apple.
