I've got an old MacBook Pro with a MagSafe 1 port. Unfortunately, the MagSafe 1 charger that I have doesn't seem to be working to charge the laptop anymore. I don't know of any way to charge this now because this was way before USB-C existed. How can I charge this old laptop? I can't seem to find any proper old MagSafe 1 charger online.

Apple still sells MagSafe 1 chargers:

Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter - Apple
Alright, I've got one on the way. I plugged the serial number into Apple's checker and figured out that it's a mid-2009 13-inch model. I believe I got the right charger, so everything should be good.
