Macbook Air w/ Charging issues.

My Macbook Air (2018) instantly Shuts Down when the magsafe power adapter is connected. At first, it was blinking green and I reset PRAM and the SMC. No fix. Then, I disconnected and reconnected the battery. The charger works now (orange). However, there's a noticeable high pitch whine when it is being charged. Additionally, The computer shuts down whenever the magsafe is plugged in. Should I buy a new Magsafe adapter? I'm concerned it won't fix the problem. All these charging problems occured after the new OS update.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Thanks for the reply. I ordered a cheap, chinese power adapter and it fixed all the problems beautifully. The apple power adapter was causing all the problems. I hope this helps anyone with similar problems.
