Mba magsafe power adapter problems

Mine died after around 6 weeks, from the current mid-2011 13". They handed me another one immediately at the Store- no questions asked. It too started to not charge the computer, or light the indicator lights at first.

Luckily I had a spare charger- from the older MBP with its "T" plug end, that fit the new Rev E. and its straight-in MagSafe port- versus the Rev. A angled port.

I just don't know what it is with Apple, but they seem to have more than their share of cord and charger issues. Over the years- on almost every class of Mac laptop I've owned, from the PB100, 540c through TiBook and first gen MBA's- including iPhone cabling too- their chargers and cables have always seemed to be troublesome. I have so many devices that survive years and years of use, and still look almost new, but I doubt I have any working chargers or USB cabling that are much over a year old.

Still, a small price to be paid for such small glitches in otherwise exceptional products.

Mines fine, occasionally i may have to unplug and replug it though, however my friend had some weird problems with his. the light would not go on, it would not say its charging (when it is) he had it swapped though and its been fine ever since.

I've had mine for a few months now...still no problems....knock wood.

Sound like they may have bad a bad production batch or two. I haven't had any issues with mine, but I keep the small 45watt charger it came with in the bag and use it if I need it when I'm not home, which is pretty rare as the battery life is typically enough to last me the entire work day. When I come home I use a larger MBP charger.

Before I got the MBP charger I noticed the MBA adaptor would get quite hot under load vs the MBP brick that barely breaks a sweat. Perhaps Apple made it a little TOO small?

Had the same problem with my MBP. Was a bad logic board and a bad MagSafe charger board. If you are having a problem with your third charger it is definitely something else.
