Power cord simple fix for Apple's MacBook charger when it no longer charges 

Bloody hell it worked...you are a god among men sir

I just screamed "you beautiful man!". Haha, I have 3 deadlines due and I don't have time or the money to buy a new cable! Thank you so much!!!!!!!

a 5 second repair that was better than hours of other repair videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You just saved me 50 bucks with a few taps. God bless you. This is the most amazing trick i have seen on RU-vid. Did you sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. So smart.

I tried a couple times on a wood desk to no avail. Then I did a hard tap on my granite countertop and "voilà!" It worked! A TON of thanks for this tip!

No way, this actually worked!!!!! I was updating my moms software and she was blaming me for breaking her charger when she got her laptop back. After about 45 mins of trial and error I came to youtube and find this THANK YOU!!!!

You are a LIFESAVER!! I’ve been trying all kinds of fixes for the past hour but this fixed it in SECONDS!

Couldn’t get my charger to work for the life of me. Just tapped it a few times like you showed and now it works. You’re a life saver.

I was incredibly sceptical about this working. But I did it and it actually worked. You are the man!

Wow! You are truly a life saver! I spent the last 4 hours looking for solutions, id almost given up and was gonna order a new one and BOOM! I came across your video. Loads of thanks! For those wondering, this works for c type chargers aswell.

yo are the only person who talked about this problem specifically you are a life savor

Solving the problem of not charging - such a simple solution - and it works!!! It has frustrated me for ages!!!! Thanks for posting. Super appreciate it.

When your the only person who tried this and it didn't work....

Literally flabbergasted. I was like “...smack it??” .. “...ok...” and it FINALLY WORKED after months of nothing. No light on when plugged in. I’m actually shocked thank you for saving my relationship & my school grades

I have an assignement due it 3 hours and i noticed it wasnt working anymore i immediately found this video. You are a life saver my computer was minutes away from dying ,

I laughed out loud when this actually worked for me. Here I was watching extensive DIY repair videos, when a few taps did the trick. Much obliged partner!

HOLLY CRAP IT WORKED?!?!?!?!?! I'M SO CONFUSED AND HAPPY! Thanks, I was on my moms Mac and I noticed the light wasn't lighting up. If it wasn't for you I'd probably have to buy the replacement.

You are a genius sir, i have been stressing over about my charger i was wondering what happened. But now my problem is solved. I still can't believe it just easy as that. I can't thank you enough sir.

Ive been worried for a week bec my macbook is not charging!! Ive been searching in the net about how to fix and nothing happened. Then i came to see your your video while browsing some solutions! I just tap tap tap it as you just did and now, its charging!! I was skeptical about it at first but when yoy said that your nephew is working in an apple store, I got so confident! Now its working!, thank yoy so much!!!

i was just about to buy a new charger, thank you so much!

I just screamed for joy!!!! Thank you. I could see that one pin is in. I tapped it on a wooden floor, it didn't work, I took it to a hard floor as a comment here suggested and it reared it's pretty head......out and now charging. You saved me.

I was freaking out since my laptop wasn't getting charged since past one week...And I saw your video THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GENIUS... Thank you soooo muchhhh!!!

Thank you so much. I have the small charger for a 2010 Macbook Pro and it stopped working when I just bought it (3) months ago. I tried what you said and walla it worked!!!! You are a life saver.

Thanks a lot man ! my charger stopped working months now , ordered a new one and that blew.. now i did this tip and my old charger is working again ! thank man ! you will be saving people bucks

I have researched on internet to find magsafe 1 60W T type cable over an hour: no chance! In fact all I needed was tappin it on the desk for 3 seconds? You are a living legend sir, now I understand my dad's power in my early childhood of beating the TV, it just works ?! :/

This is the first time that a RU-vid video recommended me a trick which actually worked. Try this guys, it is a lifesaver.

i worked dude. I am in India, I was in middle of writing an assignment.... thanks a lot. Seriously.

I really didn’t think this was going to work, but you should’ve seen my face after I whacked it against my table a few times and the battery lit right up. This video was a godsend

Just want to say thank you for caring enough to post this. I just tried this and it seems to have worked. Have a blessed day!

OMFG THIS ACTUALLY WORKS! At first it didn't work but I tapped it a few more times and left the charger in the MacBook for a little while and it worked. Thanks a lot man :D

Used to work for AppleCare. Using these tips will easily double the lifespan of your charger.

This is awesome! Thank you so much, you saved me over $100 (an amount a university student cannot afford).

Oh man! Ur the craziest guy with the maximum level of knowledge! Thank u my macbook pro is live again!!! Thank u

I stand amazed - I tried every method on the internet to fix the MagSafe connector to work with lights in - thank you!!! I’m needing my Mac to teach tomorrow and you have saved the day! MacAir2011 issue solved!

Dang! It worked! My 2009 MacBook Pro has made me happy, once again! Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot. A couple of my pins were stuck inside and I never thought about hitting it against the table to pop them back out. Charges fine now.

I literally!!!!!! Just fixed mine by doing that first step, the banging it on the table. Omgggg after months of not using my laptop!!!!! I literally told your video “thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!” Thank you so much!

Lol, I tried the first method you said. It didn’t work. A little while after it started working on its own. I was watching your video .. your voice has magic 😂

omg it didn’t work at first AND THEN IT DID THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!

You a freaking genius. The first hack totally works

heres a quick tip for those of you saying this doesnt work, while your charger is plugged into the wall put your ear to it and listen for a buzzing noise, if you cant hear the buzzing noise it means theres no electricity coming form your outlet OR your charger is burned out which means its completely dead and you need to buy a new one. A healthy charger should make a quiet buzzing noise when plugged into a working outlet. The buzzing noise is very quiet so you need to put your ear to it to hear it. It should make this noise whether its plugged into your computer or not

OMG!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH CUZ I THOUGHT I HAD TO BUY A NEW 1 IT DID NOT WORK AT FIRST BUT WHEN I FLIPPED THE CHARGER IT WORKED!!!

I tried so many things but worked after watching this video, thanks much.

God bless you. You just saved my marriage 😂

Had to bang for quite a while and one of the prongs still down...but it works now🙌I’ve been searching for a fix for ages and thanks to you this works

Omg!! It's working!! I was desperate for days... And just gave it a shot!! Thank you!!!

Thank You man ur a lifesaver i thought i was gonna have to buy another charger!! I jus tapped it on a table an it worked perfectly thanks again!!!

Omg it worked! It didn’t the first two times - but I tried pressing in the little pins and then hitting it harder and it actually worked! Phew 😅 ... work deadlines approaching. This was a lifesaver - THANK YOU

Jesus it worked and I was so freaking worried since I am using a brand new charger FFS... Thanks man, you're a lifesaver

You have saved my thesis work, almost about to weep. Thank you and God bless you.

OMG it actually works!!!! I was going to buy a new one and I found your video. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you! I was working from home and thought I lost my work. You saved my bacon🥓!

You are awesome. After hours, I just tapped the stupid thing on my nightstand and voila. Good vibes!

You just saved me $80. Kudos to you my friend ✊

Thank you so much!!! You saved my life!!! You're the best human being on this planet

I did the tapping technique and it worked like magic I didn't wanna have to pay for another one that was helpful thanks for the tip

Thanks a million. Tried your trick and voilà, it’s working again.

Fantastic..worked poifect one month old new mac power cord...about breaking and kinking...I wrap both ends with a 3M rubber tape. (Scotch Linerless rubber splicing tape 130C...it comes in a few widths)..made for repairing power lines!!..FABULOUS stuff I wrap a few inches on both sides..carefull wrap small connector..right up to edge...I use more rubber to start and then less...allows cable to have a gentle flex...I promise if u can find this rubber "tape" get some...it also stretcheeeeees...so you can wrap tight...I put it on all power cards...phones,computers etc..it is made to work on electrical lines. Once u use it u will find more and more uses...better than sugru, Thanks again saved me a tripto computer store, NJ

It worked man !! You belong to "A Few Good Men".

Thanks Dave! Had the same issue a month ago and ended up buying a new charger. Did this trick on the old one and it totally worked and I returned the new one to apple today and got my $ back so I can put it toward the tobacco squared backpack......one day... I cannot friggin wait.

You Sir, are a gentleman! I've been going crazy over this for ages - intermittent charging etc. I owe you a beer!

thanks....just helped my mom fix her charger over the phone with this info...

One of my pins were so deep in .. Thanks to u a tweaser and tapping it kinda forcefully on a solid floor works! The ancestors led me to your video ! Much Love 💜💜💜

Bro, that tapping worked for me. Wallah ✌️✌️ you are a savior

It worked like a charm.. Best tutorial ever

I seriously cannot believe this worked!! I even have the new charger for the Mac Book Air! Thank you so much!

OMG! Tapping 0:55 the magnetic end worked on newer charge. Thank you so much. Under a magnifying glass I could see one of the prongs was sticking out. Still longer than others but after tapping it worked.

Thank you - you gave me an idea on how to fix it. I tried the banging on the table thing but that did not work then I simply pulled out the pins some more and THAT worked.

Cool idea. I use a shock cord loop with a barrel lock to achieve a very similar result. I actually use a bunch of them to manage all my cords.

IT WORKEDDDDD!!!!!! I tried it a couple of times and it did work!

OMG IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

I really hope this works. I’ve gone through so many videos and I’m like the only one that it doesn’t work for. About to try it!

I can't believe that actually worked.

Awesome, smacking around the plug worked! Thanks!

2024 omg tried on my metal desk, it didn't work, tried it on my hard floor tiles it works wow, you saved me coins.

dude, i tried several repair jobs.....all to no avail....then i watched yours where you tapped the head on the desk to jig the pins back in place.....and it worked. i now have power....and you saved me £79. thank you.

You saved me! I can’t believe it actually worked. thank you!

Could cry with his grateful I am thankyou, poor uni student who can't survive without her laptop, you saved me $120 thankyou!

IT WORKED!!!!! YOU JUST SAVE MY LIFE. THANKS!

TYSM YOU DERVERED A MILLION LIKES AND SUB

wow never realized tapping it onto the table would help make it work - thanks for the tip about the loose magnet

You saved me 6 minutes ago!!! My macbook high Sierra charger is turning green at the tip. The metal piece keeps getting stuck in the macbook too. It still works but I had to clean the charge port, then I saw the little buttons were mashed in. You rock dude!! But I have a question, what's the cheapest macbook high Sierra charger to replace my current one?

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS ABOUT TO PANIC CAUSE I BOUGHT A NEW CHARGER

dang. I shoulda looked here years ago. both of my MBPro 2008 chargers had same problem, random Green/Orange lighting up when plugging charger to the MBPro. the tapping connector down worked right away. luckily no fraying. cheers.
