Id noticed that my macbook connector was being 'flakey' as I needed to sometime wiggle the connector.
Today I got back from a 2 day trip to find my laptop turned off and not charging. I played with the connector and it started to work for a while, but then needed to charge my work macbook so I swapped it over to that. Failed to charge. Fiddling didnt work this time.
Back to mine, it still didnt work.
after testing a couple of other things, it just wouldnt work. So I decided to test the internals.
There is no DC voltage on the 2 solder joints to the magsafe cable.
I assume at this point the poor charger has run down its moral coil, and joined the bleeding choir invisible. It is an Ex-charger.
Is my assumption correct?
I know on the magsafe pins you need to use the middle pin to 'enable' voltage on the other pins, but I assume that if no voltage is present on the leads TO the magsafe, its probably done for.
