MagSafe Charger on M1 Max Laptop not charging after shutdown Hi, I have the exact issue listed in this article: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/11/30/16-inch-macbook-pro-charging-magsafe-3/ "when the MacBook Pro is closed, the light on the ‌MagSafe‌ charger repeatedly flashes amber and is accompanied by the typical macOS charging sound effect." Is this a problem that would require a new machine? Thanks, Ben

Magsafe 3 charging issues I have had my M1 Pro MacBook Pro (14 Inch) for over a year, and I've notice intermittent charging issues with it. I have the 96W fast charger. When using the Magsafe cable I noticed that it sometimes refuses to start charging, until I disconnect the Magsafe (MacBook side) end and reconnect it. I've noticed that it could be due to the fact that I remove the USB-C (Charger side) end when not charging, and reconnect both ends before charging. Usually if I connect the Magsafe side before the USB-C end the light flashes and the computer doesn't start charging. I then started connecting the USB-C end before the Magsafe end, and I noticed if I don't wait at least 10 seconds before connecting the Magsafe end the computer refuses to start charging. I recreated the issue with a new Magsafe cable (which came with my partner's M2 Air), so it's definitely not the cable. Should I take the computer to get it checked out? Or is this normal behavior.

Experiencing charging issues with my MacBook Pro M1 Pro 14 "Experiencing charging issues with my MacBook Pro M1 Pro 14". The MagSafe light keeps blinking and it's not charging, but it charges fine through the USB-C port. Already tried reinstalling the OS. Any recommendations or potential solutions?"
