Mac M4 Pro charger only works at a certain angle

Why does my charger on Mac M4 pro should be at a certain angle to charge my laptop. And will applecare cover a new charger.

I kind of wish you had included a picture. But if you're talking about the angle the cable comes from the "brick," then that should be coming straight out, and wiggling it a little should be OK. Some chargers use a USBc connector on both ends, and those should feel solid.


If you're talking about the mag-safe connector, then that should be firm and come straight out. Wiggling definitely interrupts charging.


No one here is an authority, but I imagine if this looks like a manufacturing problem, rather than a cat-chewing problem, then it might be covered. You should talk to Apple:
