Problem with Magsafe 1 Charger & A1278 MacBook Pro (2012)

Hi,


I have a Mid 2012 Non Retina MacBook Pro (i5) running Mojave 10.14.


It was working perfectly till this evening until problems with charging started to arise.


I plug the Magsafe charger into the wall and into the port on the Macbook and this is what happens;


1) Green LED turns on

2) Orange LED comes on after 5 seconds.

3) Orange LED fades away and turns off after 5 seconds.


My Macbook isn't charging and is now out of charge.


If I disconnect the magsafe from the port on the laptop and plug it back in, nothing happens. No lights turn on and it doesn't charge.


However, if I unplug the charger from the wall and plug it back into the wall, the same things which I mentioned above happen after connecting the charger back into the laptop.


Could anyone tell me why my MacBook has stopped charging and why the LEDs are behaving in this way? Any fix?

MacBook Pro, macOS Mojave (10.14.1)
