charger stops working, must unplug/"replug" cord to make it work again
I've got a MBP unibody- about 2 months old. Not happy with battery life around two hours (yes, with settings for better battery life), but now the charger's acting up!
Sitting still, working on laptop, suddenly I'll see the icon change to "using battery", even though it's been plugged in for hours. This has also happened when not working- this morning, it was in deep sleep because the battery had run all the way down overnight, even though it was plugged in.
Simply detaching/reattaching the magsafe adapter does nothing- I have to either unplug and replug the adapter from the surge protector, or detach/reattach the cord from the "brick" to get it to work again.
Anyone else seeing this? It's a 45-minute drive to an Apple Store, so I'm asking here first...
