Power cord ripped

I think its covered. I am not 100% sure, but my brother got a new adapter for a similar problem. My adapter is about to tear at the end too...

 

I just read the AppleCare agreement and it doesn't specifically exclude it, so you should be OK, unless they claim "wear and tear".

 

dang, its probably covered.

but how tight do people wind these things? I always leave a loop of slack so its not pulled tight right from the brick..never had a problem.

 

I actually do the same and realized after only 3 months of owning it that it seems to get worn real quick and become loose. I feel like maybe they're made this way so we have to replace them (making apple more money) but if it's under warranty it would be great. Let us know what happens. Also maybe instead of wrapping it around those latches just wrap it around your hand in a small loop then with a wire tie just tie it not putting any wear on the end of the connection to the brick.

 

I've never had a problem either, but then again I don't wind mine at all. I loop it around loosely like I would a hose or electrical cord.

 

My power brick ripped the same way during a film production (admittedly, pretty rough environment though). Apparently, Apple doesn't seem to understand what strain relief is because the old PBG4 power bricks are the same way.

The production company reimbursed me though, so everything is good.

 

Stupid spam post. Reported.

OP, I'd head back to an Apple store and ask for a free replacement. I've seen a number of threads on this forum about problems with the power brick, but most seem to end with a replacement through AppleCare or just to avoid bad press(?).
