Magsafe charger getting really hot

My MagSafe connector gets really hot to the point that it burns my skin when I touch it. Everything else is fine, my macbook charges fine and does not heat up that much. Is this normal?

Solution 1:

A Mag Safe Adapter that gets warm is normal. So hot that it burns your skin? Definitely not normal.

This could be a couple things:

• Your Power Adapter is failing. If this is the case, replace it with a GENUINE Apple Power adapter.

• Magsafe DC I/O Board is bad. From your comments, you said you have a Mid 2015 15" rMBP. If that is the case, then you will need something like this MagSafe DC Jack
