[QUOTE="Quicksilver1, post: 1522130, member: 304822"] [b]overheating[/b] My daughter brought me her power cord to her I-Mac this morning. It was burning hot to the touch. I checked the wires for her and found problems. The white cord going to the over-heated white box was damaged. The white wire plastic casing (where it goes into the box) had burnt brown and white, exposing the wires. There was a little bit of black smoke on the white box. :Angry: I guess I buy a new one for $75 since Apple states that this happens rarely.
