I've had my MacBook for about 2 1/2 weeks, and pretty much since the beginning, the charger has been a little odd. About 60% of the time, when I plug in the charger, it won't turn green/orange, anything. I have to unplug it 4-5 times before it recognizes that it's been plugged in, and it starts charging without a problem. I've tried a few different outlets but this happens at all of them. Should I wait more than ten seconds to see if the charger recognizes that it's been plugged in? Any advice? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

I had the same problem. I went to the apple store and they replaced my charger now it works perfectly again
Since it's only 2 weeks old, if you don't have an apple store close to you just call Apple they'll fix it for you.
i had the issue but it occured radomly on my 13" cMbp i could not get it to behave the same way at the service center few months later i found my magsafe connector heating up alot and the port melted, apple replaced the port no questions asked.
For me when i would change a charger it would recognize and work on that one but later that charger would not get recognized. Its however best to have them document your complaint to help in future.
