Is it ok to leave the power adapter/charger plugged into the wall while disconnected from the computer?
I have done this for some time now with 3 Macbook 13" adapters and one seems to have failed. If you want the gruesome details it happened like this. I first noticed the little green/amber light on the magsafe would quiver, but it would charge. Then it started giving me a "not charging" message in that bar-at-the-top-of-the-screen-which-I-know-has-a-name. It would also get pretty hot but it seemed to have been doing that for a while.
Have you had good service from the refurbished adapters? I personally an disappointed with the apparent quality control issues for these things. I have very cheap adapters for an almost infinite number of gadgets which cost nothing like $80 which last forever.
TIA for any feedback or information.
