The charger light comes on periodically and charges but now it won't. I had to move it around and by luck it would get it just right to charge. Do the magnetic pins wear down in the charger or the laptop?
Is this a good question?

It could be the pins on your charger if it it the original. I have the same issue with my older MacBook Pro(2009). You could try replacing the DC in board, or using a newer charger if it really bothers you.

Thank you for your reply. I tried a different charger and it works much better. I like the video and since it is an older laptop I will probably need the video in the near future.

the pins don't wear down, but the springs. as you have to move the coil around, it could also be a break in the cable itself, usually the plus cable. try a different charger, check for differences. post.

Thank you for your response. I changed power cords and it is working now. The old cord finally did not charge at all.
