So I picked up this 2012 MacBook Pro,
Upon plugging it in I hear a click every 1/2 second,
And the light on the MagSafe charger is going crazy from green to orange within milliseconds over and over,
I assume this is a MagSafe Board Issue?
@danj - What do you think?

unfortunately im not @danj but is it doing this on multiple chargers and is the charger all they way in the wall
iv see this happen if the charger isn't in the wall properly:-)

@hellomacos - The charger is in the wall all the way,
So that only leaves the MagSafe Board,
Thats most likely it
Have you dismantled it yet?
If so is there anything off about the Magsafe board?
@beanman56 @hellomacos - I do need my beauty sleep!
I would check the MagSafe contacts and make sure the socket is not loaded with junk.
@danj - I’ll try cleaning them with isopropyl alcohol:
Just a little warning
Don’t scrub too hard as on some versions of it there is a thin layer of what I think is plastic that on older models can flake off if scrubbed too hard and may cause further charging issues:-)
