magsafe flashing & not charging new pro 14 inch I have a new Macbook Pro 14inch (M1) & when first activating it it seemed fine, with the magsafe adaptor connected & charging. During the set up process I was asked if I wanted to upgrade to Venture so I did that. Half way through the update the magsafe amber light started blinking & I then noticed it wasn't charging. I spoke to apple who tried booting in safe mode but no change. It does however charge with a usb-c to usb-c cable. Have now emailed the retailer about a replacement, but searching online seems to indicate this has happened to lots of other folks also. Some mention being sent a replacement magsafe cable but it happening again after a few weeks. Anyone know what the issue actually is or any more recent info on solutions? Thanks.
