Last night, I heard a spark noise while my mac power adaptor was connected, and the charger stopped charging my machine. There was no light on the connector. I should also say that the cable attaching to the adaptor was torn. So after reading instructions for dismantling the charger, I cracked it open and cut the cable before the plastic piece inside the charger. Then, I tested if the AC charger was having any output DC voltage with a multimeter. But it did not detect any. Now, do I have to assume that the unit is dead or is there some fuse which needs to be replaced?

There is a fuse in the charger, but replacing fuse is not recommended.

And this is not the only surge protection unit. I recommend to test with another working charger and your mac and if your mac works well with another charger, then get another Apple charger.

    Thanks for replying! Would you tell the reason why not replacing it? – developer Feb 7 at 13:28
  • I think there can be some fault on laptop side: damaged input connector, etc. – z0nam Feb 8 at 5:21
