Hi all,
My MacBook is having a hard time charging. The charger is actually broken… The magnetic piece stays attached to the computer when I unplug it. (So that’s why I have it saran wrapped right now)
When I have it plugged in, there is a faint green light but not the normal green light that tells me it’s charging. I can’t get it to charge.
You've already answered your own question as there is some problem with the charger or the magsafe port on the laptop, but I cannot tell what from your description or the photo. If pieces related to the charging system are loose or broken, then you should not be using them as it could pose a safety hazard to both you and your laptop. Take both the laptop and charger to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to be checked out. If the damage is limited to just the charger and its cable, then purchase another one from the Apple.

Just went and got a new Apple charger! 👌🏼
