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!

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.

  • Camera hardware on Macbook Pro suddenly stopped working

    Yesterday I was in the middle of a FaceTime call and suddenly my camera stopped working. I restarted my computer and the camera worked temporarily, then just as suddenly it stopped. When I restarted again, no camera was found.
    I checked around and tried that tip from OSXdaily - shutting down the VDCAssistant using Terminal. I also updated all of my software. I'm fully up to date in terms of the operating system. I've tried the whole zapping the PRAM thing also (ctrl+opt+P+R). I've set up additional accounts, checked across different applications - nada.
    Any other suggestions as to what the issue could be and how I can fix it? I bought my MacBook Pro at the end of December 2011, so it's not new, but it's in great shape.

  • My macbook charger has stopped working

    Earlier at school my charger ceased to work. It also decided to turn off my Macbook as it quit working. Im not sure if this happened because 2 other chargers were plugged into the same power strip. But all in all it seemed to have shorted out perhaps. Will i have to buy a new one?

    You can get a new third party 60W power adapter on eBay for under $20.

  • MacBook Charger just stops working!

    Ok, so I am on my 3rd charger the 3rd one is literally 6 months old and it just stops working. All of them have... and when I go to the genius bar nobody can help me, they just suggest a buy a new one. Of course, those are over $80 including tax... and I am sick of spending that. I mean, I do nothing out of the ordinary. My charger is plugged in the power outlet and I dont move it, I dont play with it, I dont abuse it, it dont do anything but charge my laptop.
    So can somebody please tell me whey they just start working and where I can buy a charger that will at least last me a couple of years?????? I mean, does apple create these issues purposely so I spent $80 every 6 months??? Not cool!!!

    yup that was it.. The bumper has a little plastic piece that stooped the charger from fully seating... So I had to perform surgery on my $29.00 Apple bumper so the accessory that are made for it fit.. Nice...

  • Macbook internet suddenly stopped working a week ago?

    My Macbook's internet has been working absolutely fine (sometimes it disconnects after sleeping, but reconnects quickly) for the past month. Recently, about 2 weeks ago the internet stopped working. My Macbook can definitely see wireless networks, and when I type in the network key it says I'm connected for a bit, with the wireless logo on the top right of the screen with all 4 bars full, but I just don't have any internet. Skype, Safari etc won't work, because clearly no internet is coming in... I have no idea what is wrong!? My internet is definitely working (I have a netgear wireless router) because it works on my desktop. I think the internet stopped working on my mac around the time when someone tweaked the settings on my router. But surely my macbook will automatically update these when I connect to my network? Please help!?

    Is your desktop a windows machine? What happens if you turn it off? I had trouble today with my apple products connecting to the internet through my wireless router, but when I turned off my windows laptop, and rebooted all routers & apple products, they work flawlessly now. I haven't turned the windows laptop back on again for fear it will "break" everything again. I'm wondering if I'm the only one, or if it's a windows thing.

  • MacBook 2008 wifi suddenly stopped working and says no wifi hardware. Took it to an apple shop, they said it could be the airport card but wouldn't do anymore then that.  Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?

    MacBook 2008 wifi suddenly stopped working and says no wifi hardware. Took it to an apple shop, they said it could be the airport card but wouldn't do anymore then that.
    Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?
    is there anything else I can try first?
    thanks

    If the technician at the shop is competent, he has given you a diagnosis that should have identified the problem.  You could run the Apple Hardware Test to verify the findings:
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
    Note the Apple Hardware Test is not definitive.
    Go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites.  They have parts and installation instructions.  To install an Airport card is fairly easy.

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

  • Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine?

    Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine? Is this because of some recent software update by Apple? 8x8 support acknowledges issues with no current work-arounds? The 8x8 desktop app worked until early December, then quit. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app, but no difference.

    The solution is :
    1. Delete iPhone configuration utility. Just drop it to the trash
    2. Run
    sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.*
    rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.plist*
    3. Delete the whole folder: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
    4. Reinstall iTunes (just over the previous one)
    5. Restart

  • My iPad3 has suddenly stopped working, it won't charge up and the screen is blank I have tried to reboot the device by holding the top and home buttons but I don't even get the Apple logo. any advice?

    My iPad3 has suddenly stopped working, it won't charge up and the screen is blank I have tried to reboot the device by holding the top and home buttons but I don't even get the Apple logo. any advice?

    Plug it into the charger/wall socket and let it charge for at least an hour. It just might start charging. If you have already tried charging it for a fair amount of time and it didn't work, try restoring the device with iTunes.

  • The keyboard and trackpad to my 2008 MacBook suddenly stopped working, what's wrong with it/ what should I do to fix it?

    The keyboard and trackpad to my 2008 MacBook suddenly stopped working. I've restarted the computer several times and no help. I had some keyboard maintenance done a few months ago at a repair shop so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. What should I do?

    First thing I would try would be to remove the battery from your MacBook, connect the computer to it's power adapter and start up, then see if the keyboard and trackpad work normally. Some older batteries have been known to expand and interfere with keyboard and trackpad. If this works, replace the battery.
    Best of luck.

    Normally I plug it in and insert a CD or DVD and it is immediately recognised, but today it took the DVD, made a 'whirring' noise for a few seconds and then stopped without being recognised.
