Hey everyone!
About a year ago, the cord on my original charger that came with my iBook started to tear where it was connected to the powerbox, so not really thinking, I bought a macally charger to replace it, since it was 40 dollars cheaper. That was a bad idea, because this thing has never really worked too well-the blue light on the brick part kept blinking off and on when I started using it, making my computer recharge and then stop, and start recharging again in a really quick sequence. Two months after I bought the cord, my battery totally died-and I was wondering if the recharger being faulty like it is (and like that same model seems to be with most people as I read reviews for it now) killed my battery faster than it should have died. I know that batteries die pretty quickly, but i had only had my computer for a year and a half when it happened. I need to buy a new battery, but should I buy a Mac recharger too? Also-is this recharger hurting my computer in anyway at all, being that it blinks off and on (shuts down and turns back on) so much?
