MagSafe is not charging. Personal experience. SMC, PRAM, fixing cord, changing cord and so on
This is my personal experience. Problem: Magsafe LED only lights up for a few seconds and turns off. First try: Resetting the SMC on a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Retina MacBook with a non-removal battery is easy and done as follows: Shut down the MacBook by going to Apple menu - Shut Down. Connect the MagSafe power adapter. Simultaneously hold down Shift+Control+Option+Power for about 4 seconds, then release all together Second try: o reset your PRAM: 1. Shut down your machine. 2. Press the power button and then press command-option-p-r. 3. Hold those keys down until your Mac reboots again and you here the startup chime. 4. Let go of the keys and let your Mac reboot normally. Third try: Fixing frayed cord by myself Fourth try: Support of the service. Changing cord did not saved the situation. After opening MagSafe 2 it became dead. Totally dead. Solution: I was offered a new MagSafe 2 with a huge discount and using it now.
