MagSafe Adapter not working

[rmlred]

My MagSafe Adapter just stopped work after I unpacked my MBP from vacation. It seems to works if you hold the magnet end just right like it has a short or the plug on the MBP is not working properly. My MBP will be a year old on April 13th, will the warranty cover this? I use my MBP for work on Tues/Weds, would it be covered and replaced by then?

If it's still under warranty I'd take it back for an exchange.

You could have a loose wire. If so, that's how fires happen.

Is there any possible temporary fix?

If you can get into and Apple Store and it is covered they'll probably just replace it with a new one right in the store.

Dunno about an temporary fixes.

Temporary?!?

Good Lord, man, we're talking about electricity here - this ain't a pocket flashlight we're trying to jury-rig. Get it replaced, warranty or no!

If you're under a year, you should be covered. Did you buy applecare? If so, then you're definitely covered.

Don't be thinking temporary. This is dangerous. Go to your applestore.

I agree, in my experience they will often cover power adaptors even out of warranty, simply because it's dangerous not to.
