Chosen Solution
Hey, I have gone through 5 chargers and they all keep breaking in the same way; the magsafe 2 pins keep burning - like they literally turn pure black and some seem to snap completely. I sadly dont have any pics of the charger but the actual; port on my macbook is slightly discolored but not too bad. I take good care of my chargers, admittedly I didn’t for the first or second one but the rest i took super good care of. Is this something I can fix myself? what would I need to fix? How much will it cost? Thanks again!
A very common issue with knockoff chargers! Here’s the damage on the MagSafe port on the system
