MacBook charging problem

Question

posted here and in r/MacBook for more answers lol

MacBook Air 2022 m2 chip

using the same cable and 30w charging block the Mac came with

Hey all!

My MacBook has been playing up the past few weeks where sometimes I put the MagSafe charger on and it says “battery is not charging” “power source: power adapter” and it only fixes after I take the charger out a few times and put it back on, it’s a fairly new MacBook (bought last December brand new) so I still have the warranty.

Is this a software or hardware problem, can I fix it or is it a case of bringing the computer back to the shop :(

Thanks!
