[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1816056, member: 56379"] Not exactly sure what was being read...or what exactly was being said about going bad. But usually the issue with the chargers (power supply) for Apple portable computers is the cable going bad. The insulation on the Apple charger cable (the cable that goes from the charger to the computer)...tends to split or crack if the cable is bent at too extreme of an angle...and probably gets worse with age. This happens especially frequently at the first 1"-3" inches from the power supply...and 1"-3" inches from the part that connects to the computer. [U]Here's an example: [/U] [ATTACH=FULL]29506[/ATTACH] There are products sold that help prevent this. But usually...if you're aware of what not to do...you usually don't have too much trouble.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
