When I turn off my MBP 16" (2023) in software (no hibernation) and then close the lid after the keyboard is no longer lit, the following happens:

The LED of the MagSafe 3 charging cable rotates every second from OFF to GREEN to ORANGE and so on.

Each time this happens there is this quiet PING as if I have just plugged in the MagSafe.

If I switch off the unit software-wise (no hibernation) and then leave the lid open, the system restarts after 1-2 seconds and I am on the start screen.

In the running system everything is great, there it loads as it should.

My system: Apple M2 Max 32GB Version 13.5.1 (22G90)

The power adapter does Not manage its own little lights.

The LEDs on the power adapter are set under program control by software IN THE MAC!

So it make sense that fixing the MAC-end fixed the issue.

Hi!

Please explain this better! What did you do with Apple Configurator, what did you update the firmware of? Thank you!
