Atomsk Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thought you guys should see this I was using my macbook pro in bed earlier and I started smelling a burning smell and look down at my laptop and see that the magsafe power cable is melting I am on the phone with apple right now to see what they are going to do I am just thankfull that I was using it when this happened otherwise It could have burnt down my apartment or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 that's f*%ked up!!! It's didn't even melt at the connection for the magsafe, that looks like it's in the cable. I hope they resolve these magsafe issues or just drop it when the next version of the macbooks come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomsk Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 They are overnighting me a new one so that is good. I also told them I want assurance that this will never happen to me again after all what would have happened if I had not been using it at the time it when it melted.

kevin_4e Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I bought my first mac not too long ago and i'm very happy with it in every aspect. What i didn't know is that not only is it a great computer but, if you attach the magsafe and put a frying pan on it, it is fully capable of cooking me a few eggs. God almighty does mine get hot. After seeing this, i know i wont be leaving this plugged in when i'm not home. You're lucky that nothing else happened. It could have been a lot worse and caused a lot more dammage. If anyone knows if they're shipping new, more reliable magsafes, keep us posted. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 OMG! I hope that doesn't happen to my Macbook's magsafe. That's scary. Oh, and I can't stand the whine and moo. It's driving me insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomsk Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 I was kind of dissapointed in the support for apple although I they are overnighting me a new one I asked the support specialist if they are working on fixing this issue or have fixed this issue so this will not happen again and I never got a real answer So I have sent another email to apple saying I will not accept this and will do what ever it takes to get an answer. Im just angry that I have to use windows at work monday because my macbook pro was my main work machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
