If the indicator light flashes

If your battery is charging or charging is on hold, the indicator light will glow amber. If the indicator light on the MagSafe 3 connector flashes amber repeatedly, try these steps:

  1. Disconnect the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable from your Mac and from the power adapter.
  2. Disconnect the USB-C power adapter from the plug socket.
  3. Use a dry cloth to wipe the MagSafe 3 port and MagSafe 3 connector. Make sure both the port and connector are dry and clear of any debris.
  4. Make sure the USB-C port on the power adapter and the USB-C connector are clear of any debris.
  5. Restart your Mac.
  6. Connect the USB-C power adapter to the wall socket, connect the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable to the power adapter and to your Mac, then try charging again.


If the indicator light continues to flash repeatedly, contact Apple.
