[QUOTE="barefootmom, post: 790385, member: 82739"] I'm currently on my 2nd charger right now and it is broken. I have no idea what I am doing to break these chargers so I thought maybe someone had an idea for me of what is going on. I usually leave the charger plugged into the wall. The only time it moves is if I go upstairs to work on the macbook or if my son (who is 1) pulls it out of the wall. The charger was working fine a few days ago, my son pulled it out of the wall (right in front of me) and then it stopped working (no light at all, and no charge). There are no wires exposed, nothing. We live in an older home so it makes it easy for things to pull out of the outlets (meaning, my son didn't use much force to get it out). I checked to make sure nothing sticky was on the plug or the magnet to the computer. They both look fine. This is the second time this has happend, the guy at the Apple store said there was a sticky substance on it (I call BS but thats another story). We just moved and our plugs at our last place were new so I know its not an outlet problem and since there is nothing sticky on the outlet I'm ruling that out too. Any suggestions or are the macbook chargers just a bunch of crap? [/QUOTE]
