USB-C power connector


 

开云体育

The USB-C power connector on the MacBook Pro really sucks. It doesn’t stay snug to provide power consistently. Has anyone found a way to keep it firmly attached?

If it is under warranty, take it in. If it is out of warranty, sounds like a user issue.?

I am currently going thru a deceased friends electronics to reset them to factory default, and many of his connectors are loose and there are several damaged cables. These are newer than my hardware which doesn’t have any loose connectors.?


Brent ?

On my Mac mini running 10.15.7?

Is the plug (male connector) loose in the port or the port loose in the chassis?

I haven’t had that problem, but then I usually use the Mag-safe connector.

After wiggling the cable to see what might be loose, one thunderbolt port has completely stopped working. Guess that port was the problem. The other seems ok.

My MacBook does not have a MagSafe connector, or I would have ?been using it. Only 2 thunderbolt ports, one of which seems to be defunct.

Several years of Macbook Airs and 13” Macbook Bros had no MagSafe and only 2 Thunderbolt ports.

Did you get Applecare??
If so, is it still in effect?

I bought it refurbished at Other World Computing with a 2 year warranty which expired in November last year.

Been considering getting a Macbook Air anyway. Must be time.
