[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1542213"] Traditionally, Apple has expressed STRONG INTEREST in incidents like this if the charger was one of theirs. Even though the machine is old, if you are CERTAIN the charger that was used was the original Apple charger I would contact them, get an email address to send pics and open a case. You'll usually find them very interested in investigating and will probably replace the damaged machine (see "if" above). Ambulance-chasing lawyers and litigious douches might tell you to get a lawyer, but I would say this would be a bad idea until you have spoken to Apple. Not everything needs litigation, and since the expense can be ruinous (even if you "win"), instantly jumping to the lawyer/legal solution may not be the smart move unless you don't get a good response from the company.
