16 Why is my MagSafe power adapter overheating?
I got a used MagSafe charger to go along with my Mac I also ordered but I have not gotten the Mac yet (went to the wrong side of the country… grrrr) so I plugged it in the wall for no reason and about 30 minutes later it was pretty warm to the touch. I have not gotten anything to plug it into yet so I am not sure if it works. Is this normal or should I send it back? Edit: from videos I have watched, most don’t look like that.

@thequacker Is it getting excessively hot (way, way above body temp+)? Like into the 70s or 80s (centigrade)? They do tend to get a bit warm, at least my charger for my old second hand 2011MBP, and even my MagSafe for my 2021MBP 16” get’s good and warm.
If it reaches a “degree” that makes it almost unbearable to touch, it’s a problem. If it stays at a “hand-warmer” temp, that’s pretty normal on my MacBooks.

@geirandersen While it is above body temperature it isn’t extremely hot. If I had to guess I would say it is around 40C. Mind you, this is without A Mac plugged in.

@thequacker yeah, it’s the “without a Mac” that troubles me a bit.. When will you be receiving the Mac you ordered? Within a day or two? Isfahan so, I’d personally unplug the charger for now, then test it on the Mac when it arrives. If it still only reaches the same temp when in use, I wouldn’t worry about it. Any warmer though, and I’d either return it (if it’s returnable) or I’d pop it open to inspect the components.

@thequacker & @geirandersen - Likely a knockoff charger. Here’s a good vid on the telling them apart How to Spot A Fake Macbook Magsafe Charger
