So here’s a long running mystery I’ve faced. For several years now my Macbook Air charges perfectly in Russia. Yet every year when i go to Spain I have problems. At first it charges. Then some days it charges, but others it doesn’t. Eventually it just stops charging altogether. I return to Russia and it works perfectly again. I thought maybe temperature was the problem, so I chilled the magsafe 2 charger. But no success. Any suggestions as to why my charger is travel sick??? Regards.
You likely have a fake charger! A real charger wouldn’t have an issue jumping between the different AC power systems: Russia - 220-voltSpain - 220 or 225 volts Review this Apple T/N Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters to make sure you don’t have a bad cable, a dirty or damaged connector interface.
