2023 MagSafe adaptor flashing even after cleaning. No charge on laptop MacBook Pro 2023 adaptor started flashing, I restarted the computer & cleaned the port & it’s still flashing & not charging. My battery is now dead, & I live in a country where MacBook support isn’t available/extremely limited (there’s not even an apple shop) Please let me know if anything has worked for your besides the obvious clean.

Would Macbook Pro shutoff the power adapter to let the battery work? Would Macbook Pro shutoff the power adapter to let the battery work? Or, it might be that the power socket is faulty? I only noticed this, when the MBP made a warning sound, as the battery level was ~34%. The power light was on, on the socket bar, but the adapter was cold. I put it on another unused socket and it started working after a few shakes. We have round contact pins in our country and only two of them, and the adapter is too tall. Maybe, it got knocked off the contacts. It is somewhat hard to believe that the MBP can control the adapter and put it off.

Looks like something heat-related occurring inside the adapter. I'd stop using it, discard it, and buy a replacement.
