Just had a scary few days with my beloved Macbook... Last week my computer randomly wouldn’t turn on and wouldn’t even recognize the power cord when plugged in. I let it sit for a day and it magically turned on again the next day.
But, two days ago... I wasn’t so lucky. Wouldn’t boot up again and the light on the power cord wasn’t lighting up again. So, either the battery was dead, the connector between the cord and the battery was dead, or the cord itself was dead.
Thankfully, it seems to be the latter. Just got back from the Apple store at Pentagon City with a new power adapter. I can’t believe it cost $79, but I guess Apple has a patent on the ingenious magnetic power attachment. And $79 is a heck of a lot cheaper than a new battery or computer.
Looks like the black Mac will indeed live to see its fourth birthday soon.
