[QUOTE="jaster, post: 700862, member: 3143"] My charger got so hot, it actually melted and short-circuited the wires coming out of it. The side of the charger where the wire from the charger goes into the macbook, well the wires got so hot they actually burned through the protective white rubber coating. It was right at the point where the wires come out of the charger. I called apple and was told that they had reports of this, that it is a known problem, but that they were not going to issue a recall. I was also told that even though this is a known problem, unless my macbook was still under warranty(which it wasn't), they would not replace the power adapter. I ended up purchasing a new one at best buy, and while this one gets hot, it is not nearly as hot as the original one that shipped with my machine. Now, I no longer leave my macbook plugged in when I am not home, or at night when I go to sleep. I am paranoid of the adapter overheating again, and this time starting a fire or something. [/QUOTE]
