I don't thing the fundamental problem was addressed: why doesn't the flip prong plug maintain a proper connection. I used the cord from an older 2013MBPR charger.
I think it was a manufacturing defect at the very least. At worst, it could lead to sparking.
I finally figured out what was wrong. It turns out that the prongs were not making a firm enough contact with any of the sockets in my house and my professional Tripp Lite 12 Outlet Bench & Cabinet Power Strip. I used an Anker charger and it worked. Then I removed the flip style socket adapter in the power supply and used a corded one from another apple power supply and that worked perfectly.
The older MagSafe power supplies had much better feedback: a light would come on and tell you if the was some voltage in the system.
Rajesh Kanungo,
We're glad to hear you were able to resolve this by ensuring there was a good connection with the cable. Reach back out if we can assist with anything else.
