Why my MBP doesn't charge

[LianMeiting]

No sure if any of you have experienced this before, but sometimes my macbook pro goes crazy and doesn't charge when I attach the charger to my macbook.

And even when my mbp battery is totally flat, it still doesn't charge.

Then if I leave it alone for 1-2 days and try again, it works. It has happened to me about 4-5 times over the past few months.. is there anything wrong with my macbook?

Please share if you have similar experience.

Hmmm, okay thanks.

I'll go to the link that you've provided and see if it solves the issue.

I've had this macbook for 3 years I think? Let's hope it isn't going to die on me now.

thanks once again!

have u tried holding option then click on the batt icon in the menu bar? what is the "condition" of the batt?

you can also use a simple app like the battery health

had this problem too.. .end up i found out it's something wrong with my charger. try your friend's charger see whether it works?

I had the same experience but found out it's the charger problem. I have to intentionally attach/re-attach the charger a couple of times before the battery stars charging.

Try cleaning the golden contacts (both sides) on the magsafe connector.
