Hello everyone, Last year the charger of my macbook got faulty and stopped working, also the macbook turned off. Lately I aquired myself a new original magsafe charger 2(85 watt) but sadly this did not help. The macbook won’t turn on and the indication light on the charger stays off. The battery wasn’t its best anymore, I did have a battery service message and sometimes the macbook would go off around 35%. What could be the cause of the not turning on/charging? and is it fixable ?
Thanks in advance Jeroen
If the MagSafe cord LED is not lighting that’s a sign the systems MagSafe connector needs cleaning or replacing.

I have similar problem, after changing a battery, my touchpad and keyboard wouldn’t work, replaced touchpad and ribbon cable, so keyboard and touchpad back in business. Now MagSafe charger will not light up and I can’t charge my early 2015 MacBook 13” retina. So make it short I even changed MagSafe board and tried another charger with no results! And all started with changing a battery, did not have any problems before, just battery replacement warning. Any suggestions ? Thanks
Extremely worn battery? Miscalibration?
