My Magsafe power adapter had a meltdown and now it is not safe to use. When I talked to the people at Apple the first thing they asked me was if I was alright. Then they asked if the adapter had burned me or anything else. They were all prepared to send me a new computer but quickly retracted the decision when I told them all I needed was a new power charger.
I noticed the magnetic bit that plugs into the MacBook was getting a bit hot last night. This morning I noticed it was bent out of shape and the plastic around the wires was melting. There was smoke coming off it. Of course I thought it was my fault. Apple sells new ones for$99. I was all prepared to buy one off ebay for about a third of the price but my gut was holding me back. For some reason I started reading the reviews. The more I read the more I realized this was a known problem and that Apple would send me a new one if the computer was still under warranty.
Given how concerned they were when I talked to them about the potential for it to burn me, something else or wreck the MacBook, I would think, if your Magsafe power adapter has suffered the same fate as mine Apple should give you another one for free whether or not you still have a warranty.
I wonder how long it will take them to ship it too me?
