MacBook Pro M1 Max - Incorrect AC Charger Information

While charging with adapter, the system is charging as usual and icon shows its charging on system panel and there is no problem with charging.

How ever, I see "Connection - No" and "Charging - No" under System Report --> Hardware --> Power --> AC Charger Information.


I am trying to see some information wattage while charging.



MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.5

Have you shut down and restarted more than once and compared your results.



A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

Disconnect all other external devices in case one of them is providing a slight charge to the laptop which perhaps is not being noted by macOS. Perhaps your power adapter or charging cable is not actually working. I have seen some reports where some of these M-series Macs are not charging with the MagSafe3 charging cable due to bad Logic Boards (I have personally seen this occur with at least one of my organization's M-series Macs), so try using a USB-C charging cable instead to compare results.


Also, here are three similar but slightly different Apple articles for troubleshooting charging issues:

If your USB-C power adapter isn't charging your Mac laptop - Apple Support


If your MagSafe cable or power adapter isn't working – Apple Support (UK)


If your Mac battery won’t charge - Apple Support


Make sure to connect the charging cable directly to the laptop and definitely try using another USB-C port especially on the other side of the laptop if possible. Also, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet for a minute in order to reset the power adapter's internal circuitry.


Try running the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected.
