MagSafe don’t charge when MacBook on or off

[SwiftyAlek]

Hello,
I know that there was few discussions about it but what mostly happens was repeating sound of charging begging when Mac is off.
My problem starts this way:
I had a 56% battery plug on MagSafe, battery charged to full and then stop. Only thing now is orange light blinking without charging.

What I tried:
- to plug cable to other usb-c
- restart computer computer
This won’t help.

Other charging options works fine - like connect USB-C cable or from external display.

I have this Mac since few days.

You should take it back to an Apple store or call Apple support to swap out the mag safe cable.

So you think that this is cable not the MagSafe port? My return period ends soon

Can you bring it to a store which has MBPs to test with a second cable.

But is it common issue? I don’t want give Mac to repair just after few days.. I don’t have Apple official service :/

Cables can have issues, but this is a new product so not yet known whether it's a common issue. You need to be able to test it with a different Mac and test with your Mac with a different MagSafe cable. That will tell you where the problem is.

No. Not a common issue. But still unknown at this point if it's the cable or the laptop itself. Only way to know is to try a different cable.
