So I saw the other thread on here, but mine seems to have melted itself in a slightly different way. Unfortunately, I do not have a digital camera handy right now, so I had to use the built in camera. Basically I plugged in the charger as usual, the light flickered on it and then a spark/flame came out from where the adapter plugs into the laptop (or notebook - whatever they call them now). I unplugged it to find that the head part and pins had melted, and stunk of melting plastic. On top of this it left a mess in the adapter socket on the MBP. I managed to scrape out some of the melted plastic from the laptop, but there is still a burn mark on the laptop itself.
I had extra cover (as it had passed the years warranty), however with deadlines and all, I could not afford to have the laptop taken away (standard procedure), so had to buy a new charger for £55!!! The annoying thing is that, previously the battery expanded and I had to get that changed to (handled by Apple).
Really disappointed in the quality control measures here.
