I got this 2021 MacBook Pro in December of 21. The Magsafe 3 connector has been entirely inconsistent - often taking ten attempts to get the light to come on when connected - sometimes never at all. I have actually purchased an additional USB-C to Magsafe 3 cable - it will not connect at all. How are you dealing with this?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

leroydouglas - thank you - I will give it a try. It seems to me to be a hardware issue since I cannot get one cable to respond at all. The problem started immediately upon receipt of the MacBook Pro. But hopefully I can get some helpful info from the Safe Mode action. The second link (If your MagSafe cable or power adaptor isn't working) was no help at all.
Both MagSafe & cables, plus the machine— all covered by hardware warranty... if you need to pursue it further.
call AppleCare Support at 1-800-APLCARE (800-275-2273)
See your coverage

Magsafe 3 not connecting - what do you do?
