MacBook charger is beginning to melt.

Well, my MacBook is about a year and 6 months old now. And I noticed about a week ago that where the MagSafe chargers wire is beginning to melt. It's the part that plugs into the laptop itself. The coating over the wire has melted away and the wires are beginning to show. I have to keep moving the wire in order for the charger to work, or else i have no other way to charge my laptop.

I find it amazing how this happens 6 months after my warranty expires.

I guarantee Apple will not cover this because I didn't purchase the AppleCare protection.

So could you please tell me what my options are, should I call Apple and negotiate to get a new charger or am I going to have to purchase a new MacBook charger for the redicilous price of $80.

If you'd like to see pictures of the charger and where it has began to melt, please let me know and I will provide a picture.

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
