You should accurately inspect every inch of the cable to make sure that it’s in proper condition. You should make sure that there aren’t any damages. Keep in mind, that cable condition is very important, as the cable can help you to transfer the sound from Mac to TV, charge the device, connect external speakers, etc.

You should also make sure that there aren’t any damages in the port where the cable would be plugged in. Not everyone knows, but even the dust can cause problems that the port detectors won’t recognize the cable. If it’s your case, you should take something made from wood and clear the port.

It can be funny, but many users just forget to plug the charger into the socket and that’s why the Mac may not charge. So, you should make sure that you’ve connected the charger to the socket.
