Hi,
Today I was playing Pillars of Eternity (great game) for the first time on my MBP, with the charger attached as I tend to do if playing games. Initially it seemed fine, but then after a few hours I got a low battery warning message.
A brief investigation showed no LED activity on my MagSafe 2 charger, and battery down to 9%. I tried a different wall socket, and tried the extended plug fitting rather than the short one I normally use. No difference.
After a bit of searching it tried resetting the SMC and resenting PRAM. Still no effect.
Any other suggestions before I go buy another MagSafe 2? Unfortunately I don't have a second one or know anyone with one.
