MacBook charger not working

Not sure if this is the right forum, though it seems like it should be.

I don't think it's a problem with my actual computer, but the charger just suddenly stopped working a few hours ago. I think I heard a sort of snap sound when I plugged it in the first time it didn't work, and since then the light doesn't come on, the screen does not say it is charging, and the system is not actually charging. My computer was running low on battery then so needless to say it died pretty quickly. Now I have to use my old PC, which is often slow and unresponsive. I don't have a problem with using this for now, but I'd really rather be able to use my MacBook. Is there any way I can fix the charger without buying an entirely new one?

Macbook chargers have a tendency to fray. It's a marketing strategy used by Apple to force you to buy a new one. Try to wiggle around the cable and see if it works. It was a temporary fix when my charger frayed.

Snapping? From the cable? When you plug it in? Maybe you busted the wall socket. I did that one time for some reason. Sparks flew out. Have you tried plugging it elsewhere?

Now, there is one desperate thing I tried (when I was frustrated after it didn't work for two days) that ended up making it work for a little while.. I banged the *bleep*ing thing (the main box part) against a wall, repeatedly. I thought I had broken it, as it was my intention, but it worked. Might not want to try that though. Lol.

Lol that's hilarious. I'm going try that now when my charger breaks. xD

when i plug in our mac on its charger at first it will turn green then orange but just a few seconds it will go green again..supposed to be if its charging it will stay orange then yellow when it fuly charge isnt it?do i have to buy new charger?
