[QUOTE="lacson, post: 935717, member: 130014"] For sure, electrical devices can be dangerous when shorted, that's why the design, manufacturing and testing of these devices and appliances have to be very thorough and certified safe. And the thought of normal use by your average joe must be considered when designing these. Once manufactured there should not be any chance of shorts happening with these appliances and devices. That's why most of these have warnings in their documentation not to open or tamper with them and don't try to fix them unless you're a certified technician. For everyday normal use there better not be any of these fire hazards happening, that's unacceptable by any standard. If the magsafe plug is a problem with picking metal pieces then obviously there's a design problem here, where they did not think about the consequences. I wonder if they have this in their safety documentation, to keep an eye on metal pieces on the magsafe plug. [/QUOTE]
