Re: "new charger still not working what else can I try"


Try plugging the charger in to a different power-point in case that one is faulty.

Try checking the cable to see if it is damaged.

Try plugging the charger into a different Mac port.


Check the connector at the end of the cable that plugs into your computer is secure.

Make sure the new charger has the correct connector for your Mac (Eg: USB-c / Thunderbolt etc.)

Inspect the Mac's ports to see if they are damaged or loose.

See if you can borrow another charger and see if that works, or if the Mac itself may have a problem.

Thank you for letting us know the new charger is a magnetic charger.


Wondering which model your MacBook Air is:

How to: Identify your MacBook Air model - Apple Support

and

Which MacOS version is installed: (Eg: Check via Apple Menu > About this Mac)


Is the new charger an Apple charger designed to be compatible with MacBook Air?

Eg: This Magnetic Charger I(link below) is compatible with certain models:

Compatibility: Mac Models

  • MacBook Air (15-inch, M2, 2023)
  • MacBook Air (13-inch, M2, 2022)
  • MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
  • MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020)
  • MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018–2019)


It seems these are the chargers Apple recommends for MacBook Air:
