Lawsuit claims MagSafe power cord not so safe

I wonder if the problem of overheating is caused by the pins in the magsafe head sticking? My new one has been getting hot since purchase but i can see that the pins do not spring back to the same full height.

The site for the great deal on adapters is: www.macbookadapter.com

There's a great site selling Genuine Apple, Refurbished MagSafe adapters at 1/2 of what Apple charges. They ship fast and are in excellent shape. Worth checking out if you need a replacement or an extra adapter.

My 85W Magsafe just burned up last night. I don't abuse the cord, don't crimp, bunch or bend...just wind it around the L holders in the way it was designed to do. Very upset given the potential for burning my house down or electrocuting myself or wife...

The MagSafe is the greatest thing since sliced bread !

Mine gets constant use and has had no problems.

i use mine since 2 years and still look brand new!

I had a small sparking issue with a magsafe for a MacBook Air, but at pronged end. My issue was easily solved by walking into a Apple Store and explaining what the issue one of the staff. They swapped the adaptor for free, no questions - just here your new power adaptor. The did even care if I had applecare or not.

It must be different up here in Canada...

I had 3 die on my 1st gen macbook. First one Frayed, they replaced it, Second frayed and fell of. Because it fell off, they refused to replace it, and I had to buy a new one. that one stopped working, and had to be replaced. Once the end falls off they go from safety hazard to calling it abuse.

Is this a problem primarily with Macbook pros?

I have 2 of these adapters, one for work, and one and home... I've not seen a problem with either... Apple should counter sue these A-H.... for waisting peoples time...
