Alex,
Would it not be worth while contacting apple support or their store to
see if you can get one directly from them?

*Subject:* Re: Replacing MagSafe 1 adapter for 2012 MacBook Pro?
Hi,
I haven't ever found it in the software anywhere. It's usually
physically engraved on the bottom of the MacBook Pro somewhere, but
that doesn't help us. Apple usually has those designators on their
site somewhere. I usually just take the 9-2 identifier and add
MacBook Pro Apple and throw it into a Google search and it will come
up either on Apple's site everymac.com <http://everymac.com/>. The
before 2012 is a little misleading, but 2012 is when the retina
displays and MagSafe 2 charger came out, so they're correct, but those
units that you're talking about did use the 60w MagSafe 1 adaptor as
you've found.
Later...

Tim, where would I find that designator? That's the kind of thing I
expected to find in the system report, but I couldn't get anything
other than the not-very-helpful "9,2" thing.

Hi,
That machine is likely an A1278 if that helps.

Hi all,
My mother has a 2012 MacBook Pro, and the cord on the charger is
finally starting to wear out. I have no problem getting a charger
from Amazon, but I'm not sure what to get. The only model
identifier I can find in the Mac's system report is 9,2, but all
the chargers online list identifiers that are nothing like that. I
looked on Apple's website and it told me to get a 60w l-shaped
charger, but the ones on Amazon that match that description all
specify that they're for "before mid 2012".
I'm unsure what to do here. Apple made me feel better by saying
that the wrong adapter can't hurt the Mac, but I'd still rather
not spend money on a product that won't work. Can anyone suggest
what I should look for? Incidentally, I'm happier than ever that
Apple has moved to USB-C these days, as finding those adapters is
way simpler. Anyway; any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.
