Hey guys,

I have recently purchased a new laptop.

This is like the second time that I’m using the charger, and I am seeing small ‘burn’ marks on the metal prongs like in the picture that I have provided.

I’ve had this with my MacBook chargers and iPad chargers as well - is this normal?

Thanks.

    Typically that’s caused by plugging in the charger as a whole, which draws quite a bit of power and as a result will arc.

    A socket with a switch wouldn’t have the issue when the switch is off, the wear would then be on the switch.
