Hello,

I have a problem with my macbook pro aluminium (mid 2009). When turn off the charger and plug it in again wont to charge battery. No green or orange light on the charger. I have a hundred times to remove and insert a connector into a port. Then spark and begins charging the battery. To note that I have a MagSafe charger with L connector 85W. Please for some advice???

It sounds like you might need a new MagSafe Adapter Charger. Continuing to use the charger that way may lead to damaging the input DC board or even the logic board in your MacBook Pro.

What are you think, is maybe a problem that is my magsafe have 85W??? Should i bay a magsafe with 60W???

No, the 85W should be fine. Also, make sure you can return the charger and get a refund in case the old one is OK. The problem (sparking) could also be a dirty connection. Check the connector real close to see if there is any metal fragments that might be sticking to the adapter charger connector. Remember, it is magnetic and will attract metal, even very small pieces. Use a magnifying glass to inspect the connectors - both on the charger and the MacBook Pro.
