2007 macbook wont charge

[clayton1233]

i just got a 2007 macbook and i put it on the charger and it says not charging but the battery is only at 92% and the charger flashes between orange and green.

sometimes it goes to charging for a few seconds then goes back to not charging

Any excessive amounts of dirt on either the plug or the port? What about the plug in the wall?

The battery seems fine, so I'm guessing that the charging port is failing.

like could it be the charging port being dirty because the person i got it from just took it to a apple store and had it fixed so that it would work again

Find another Mac and charger that has the original MagSafe. Connect your charger to that computer, and the other computer's charger to yours. Observe the differences.
