Charging lead - late 2011 MBP 13

[Deeg]

My tux wearing c**t of a cat has chewed through the charging / power lead for my Mac.

Suggestions on anywhere to get a replacement?

Is it an Apple job, or are there any alternatives?

Cheers

Deeg

Mine did exactly the same thing this weekend, little c**t. I'd only really buy from reputable sources and I don't think you're gonna get it much cheaper than the Apple store.

Theres the link to the student store, £7.40 off which is as cheap as you'll get I imagine. (I'm pretty sure that MBP is MagSafe 1)

Last year when i was in London, i was only supposed to be down for a day so i charged my MBP to 100%, ended up down for 3, so i'd to go Covent garden and buy one, when i got back i took it back into the Apple Store in town and they refunded me no problem at all - not helping your situation Deegerson, just saying tho lol.

I'd try for one under warranty and say it frayed.

Ive had had a few replaced that way before. Also seen a few non genuine chargers melt so I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole tbh.

Cheers for the replies.

I'm hopefully getting one for free from a mate.

If not, it will probably be the one from Apple.

The reviews on the Apple site are not exactly glowing, lol. 1 star.

You can buy them in currys if that's more convenient. I did that last time my cable went up in a puff of smoke, Apple store meant a ride out to kingston and I could walk to currys....so that was the easier solution.

Of course, the environmentally friendly thing for apple to do would be to make the actual lead magsafe at both ends so that the cable was "consumable" because they (as you're read) are crap.

Might be a trip if my mate doesn't pull his finger out.

Cheers all.

Deeg Does it look like this?



And aren't from Derby? If so you can have this one. I'm a Reception Manager at a hotel in Castle Donington and this has been in my lost property box for months so you can have it for free as long as you can collect it!

It does, and that's awesome, thank you.

My mate is being unreliable, lol.

Which hotel and when are you there?

What do you drink?
