• Check the Hardware parts

Now, if your MacBook battery is not charging, then we suggest you inspect the power cable. Also, ensure that when you connect your MacBook Pro to the computer, the power light is either amber or orange. 

If you do not see any indicator light, it simply means that your device is not charging and reason can be a faulty cable. So, try to use a new cable. Besides, we suggest you inspect the power ports for the presence of dust. Also, see the MagSafe connector for any sign of dust. In case, you encounter debris within the MagSafe connector, take a clean toothbrush and carefully remove them.

Besides, ensure that the power outlet that you wish to use works fine. Also, check the MagSafe connector pins. We recommend you unplug the MagSafe adapter from the power source and clean it a few times.

• Restart your MacBook

Sometimes, the hardware that controls the charges gets frozen and because of this, your MacBook is unable to charge. In this case, restarting your device will be the best option for you.

To do so, first, head to the top-left corner of the screen and tap on the Apple logo. Hit the Restart option from the Context menu. After rebooting your MacBook, again try to charge it.
