[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1540285, member: 33722"] I guess I always looked at power supplies on laptops and phones as consumable items - like wiper blades, or tires, or shoe laces... Some folks get years out of them, others seem to chew through them much faster. As long as you don't see the copper inside the wire, you are probably fine. That said, I personally would replace the charger with an OEM charger if the laptop was still under warranty to be safe. If the warranty is gone, then I'd buy a cheaper refurbished or bulk packaged OEM charger from OWC. My last choice would be some 3rd party adapter off the internet - again, that's just me talking. If you are in Illinois, OWC is in the same State as you and you could probably have your charger delivered in 2 days max. [/QUOTE]
