Mac charger won’t charge, even with Apple suggestions.

I’ve had this problem with my Mac about three times. It just won’t charge. Today, I discovered that my iPad charger does work on my Mac (was desperate trying to charge it). I’ve changed the charger several times and plugged it in directly.


Im assuming the problem is the charger as my Mac but given my unlucky results with every new chwrger, is there something else I can do? Apple suggestions don’t always work, so any recommendations would be great:
