Power cord splitting near connector?
Hello All,
I have an early 2008 15" MBP. About a year ago I took in my power cord (the standard T-style Mag-Safe that came with it), and had it replaced with the new L-style mag safe power cord. I used the computer on the go for a few months, but I bought an iPad, so now it mainly stays on a desk.
However, I've noticed that now the new connector is actually splitting in multiple spots near the Mag Safe adaptor.
I haven't been on these boards in a while, so is this again an issue with the L-Style cord? I see exposed wire... which I can imagine could be a fire or shock hazard.
I don't have much time these days to make my way over to an Apple store, so I wasn't sure if it'd be worth my while seeing if they'd swap it out again? Or if I should just suck it up and buy a new one online? And if I do buy a new one, do they have any warranties? Or will I have to keep replacing these things?
Thanks for any help/Suggestions!
