#Macbook pro cable not charging mac#
Obviously they SHOULD work, but a surprising number of Mac users are reporting problems with recent Dell displays, and it’s not entirely clear where the underlying problem is in those cases. To charge the battery in your Mac, connect the USB-C power adapter to a power outlet, then connect the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable to the power adapter and to the MagSafe 3 port on your MacBook Pro.After you connect the charger, the indicator light glows green if your battery is fully charged.

Try a USB-C cable that is rated for supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode, either USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2, and 100W USB Power Delivery. I wrote a long post about the various differentiating factors of USB-C and TB3 cables and addressed this, linked below. Active TB3 cables do not work as regular USB-C cables except for power and USB 2.0 data, which isn’t enough for running a display. However, one thing you could do is reset the System Management Controller (SMC) to see if that resolves the issue. Did you buy an “active” Thunderbolt 3 cable that has signal booster chips built into the cable in order to allow longer cable lengths? Based on the price you paid, you probably did.
