My MacBook charger suddenly stopped working

Could you please tell me what to do? The charger suddenly stopped working? No accident, no fluids dropped on it, no overheating etc.....The only problem I can think off is that I roll it up to store it.

Can anyone help me through the "trouble shooter" of figuring out what is wrong with it suddenly ???? Using for the moment a friends charger and my computer is charging, so its not the computer that has a problem, just the charger. Thanks for your help!

This is the charger info. It says "not connecting" but the charger is plugged in!

You've done the troubleshooting, your computer charges with a friends charger. You need to purchase a new charger. They're notorious for suffering a failure near both ends of the small cable.

I've had this problem twice now. This is my second MagSafe power adapter and since my first one became strained and frayed I have taken extra care of this one. All of the sudden it stops working today and nothing seems to help.


My other one lasted nearly two years and this one that I've been taken care of has not even lasted six months.


Are they really that poor quality? I feel like something else has to be wrong here.
