Thanks - any 3rd party ones you'd recommend? I've paid for 3 Apple chargers now for this laptop. (In fairness I left one in another country). It is MagSafe 2 and I've cleaned it but the actual contact points were already sparkling (13 months old and looked after), the 'well' area was a bit grubby but that's clean as well now with no luck. For good measure, I did an SMC/PRAM reset and still nada. There's no obvious cable damage, no brown burn marks near the power brick etc.
CYOA

If the green light doesn’t come on it’s probably nothing to do with the battery, more like the charger isn’t working. Are chargers even serviceable? I’ve always used 3rd party ones and treated them like consumable items, I have several in case one fails. If you’re running a Mac with MagSafe 2 try cleaning the contacts with a cotton bud and a little electrical contact cleaning fluid or alcohol (power off first).
