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.

    You’re overly cautious there ahah

    No need to worry, it’s all ok. Notebooks draw quite a current when plugged in, and so it sparks. Since it’s mainly only when you plug it in, and only then, you shouldn’t need to worry. Now, if you hear a “bzz” sound from the socket WHILE plugged in, change the socket because it can heat it up until it melts.
