Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out?

Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out? mine blew, there's now a charred pin on the charger and in the socket of the macbook. The plastic around the charge socket is also cracked & distorted from the blow-out. It wasn't a power surge as no other electrical items were affected. It wasn't liquid or dust, as I'm the only person who uses it & I'm very careful. I'm concerned that the consequences could have been terrible. I wasn't present when it happened though, I can just see the evidence after the event.
I have a mid 2010 13" Macbook running the latest software & use the original magsafe charger that came with it.
Will I have to fork out for a costly repair or is there a safety issue that Apple will sort out for me?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Everything in the box with iPhone is covered by the iPhone warranty ,go  to Apple genius bar before warranty expires

  • Has anyone had any problems with their PSDs getting corrupted using CS6 on an iMac?

    I  bought my iMac (Refurbished 21.5-inch iMac 2.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i5) in February. Installed CS6 and other programs including fonts I normally use. Last night though, as I was saving my layouts to PSD and JPG, I noticed the graphics were corrupted and had funky neon lines and converted my white coloured text to black! I restarted my computer, changed the colours back to white, re-saved and they (gladly) turned out normal again. I've never had this problem with my CS5 in my 2009 Macbook Pro. I was told by a friend that it could be the fonts I installed.. So I validated my fonts, removed the ones with the yellow warnings.. but I'm just worried this will happen again if I can't resolve the problem properly. I have no clue how to resolve this. Thoughts? Help?

    Hi Make an Appointment at Apple Store maybe a battery fault. Cheers Brian

  • Has anyone had a problem with their imac because the power company installed a smart meter which broadcasts the readings to the company?

    Has anyone had a problem with their imac after the power company--in my case Pepco in Washington DC--installed "smart meters" which read the meter and transmit the data via wireless?  I've had trouble and when I move the imac downstair it disappears. Help!

    would putting up a metal shield by the meter help?
    It might, as long as the shield is grounded. Metallic (such as copper) window screen is often sufficient.
    As mentioned, it would not hurt to file a complaint. The burden of proper shielding should probably belong to Pepco. Among other things, the FCC frowns upon RF leakage and its interfereing with radio communications. Besides, Pepco probably would not want you to affix a shield around their gear - liability issues, etc.
    You could experiment by temporarily hanging a shield-screen on the inside of the wall, behind where the meter transmitter device is located, and see if there is any beneficial change.

  • Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive?  If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

    I'm looking at buying a new computer.  Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive on iMac?  If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

    NOPE!
    I better not!  My iMac is only a week old.  And, if I did have any problems with it, I would let Apple deal w/it!  I do not troubleshoot when I'm under warranty.  That's Apple job!

  • Has anyone had any problems with the latest upgrade for iPad?

    I have an iPad 1 and am being prompted to upgrade to the latest version software. Has anyone had any problems when doing this? Our PC runs on Wndows 7.
    Having just resolved iTunes not connecting to the store after the recent upgrade, I'm reluctant to do something that could potentially screw up the iPad which does what we want as it is.

    Ok, thanks for that. I'll hang fire for the moment & see if anyone else has any comments.
    That's probably a good idea.  If you are happy with the system as is, I'd wait to upgrade.  I can report that my friends and family have mostly upgraded to iOS 5 without any problems, but as you can probably tell from other posts on this board, lots of people have run into problems. 
    As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

  • SOLVED - Has anyone had any problems with xorg 1.11.14-1?

    Last night I had a double catastrophe. The first was nothing to do with Linux, but was the result of a rogue drive trashing my sata ports and killing both Arch and Windows. I managed to rescue Windows, but since Arch was running at the time (and updating) nothing I tried could bring it back. After restoring from a backup (10 days old) I started the updates again (a gargantuan 415Mb) which completed, though after a reboot X failed to start. Nothing in the logs, and no activity at all. My usual fix is to remove xorg.conf and reboot, which will generally get me to the desktop to troubleshooting stage using vesa drivers instead of catalyst, but even this couldn't get me to a desktop. I tried removing catalyst altogether from single user mode, but nothing would fix.
    I restored the backup again, and did all updates except kernel, catalyst, and xorg. Everything worked fine, so next I updated catalyst - still working. A fresh backup and I updated the kernel. Still working, which means the only thing not updated at this point (and in my mind the most likely culprit for the failures) is xorg.
    Now I'm not daft enough to try updating before I make a fresh backup (I've remade several tweaks to my system that got lost after the original crash), but before I go to the trouble, I wondered has anyone else had any problems with the updated xorg?
    For info, I'm running on a Phenom X4 965BE, AMD 4670HD with catalyst 12.1, kernel 3.2.2-1.
    TIA

    Any idea where the problem was?
    X also fails to start for me now, when the catalyst driver is loaded. It used to work before, but after recent upgrades and changes to the system it's somehow broken.
    (Same catalyst and xorg versions as you mentioned, but with kernel 3.2.4-1)
    Switching to the open-source radeon driver makes X start fine, switching back to catalyst breaks it again.

  • Has anyone had any problems with the 10.0.3 upgrade?

    I'm running WinXP and presently have Adobe Reader 9.4.3.  Before I upgrade I would like to find out if anyone has had any problems with the new release?  The last time I upgraded an Adobe product (Flash) it screwed up my ability to watch videos on my browser.
    Any information would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Spin45

    Adobe Reader has the original 10.0.0 with its associated vulnerabilities and the patch of 10.0.1 which seems unable to run in protected mode in my environment or any that have roaming profiles.  The vulnerabilities that prompted the last two patches (would have been 10.0.2 and 10.0.3) have been forgone by Adobe, because "Protected Mode mitigates those vulenrabilities".  See here:  http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-06.html
    and here: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
    In my opinion, Reader X is not ready, they are soliciting for testers for a new release.  Version 9 with its attendant problems seems to be the only viable solution for me, if I can get the patches to apply properly, and the installer to work properly.

  • Has anyone had the problem with their iPhone 5 where some people cannot receive texts from you?  And if so, is there a fix?

    Has anyone had the problem of not being able to send texts to certain people? 

    Here is another screenshot.  In this example, I did 'Get Info' on one of the goofy ones, and it shows that this Wolfmother song is sorted by the Eagles.  ***? 

  • Has anyone had a problem with their replacement nano?

    My replacement nano came with a letter saying that it was covered by a 90 day warranty. Yesterday when I thought I had a problem with it I submitted a request for support and included a scan of the letter. I just got a reply saying that my warranty is from the original date of purchase and thus expired.
    Fortunately I have resolved my problem in the mean time but what happens if I get a problem that I can't fix. It appears that the so-called warranty on the replacement units is completely worthless.

    I hope you are correct if I need the warranty! This is how Applecare replied to me:
    Thank you for sending the proof of purchase.
    Apple has reviewed your proof of purchase and your request to update the purchase date in our records. Your request was carefully considered. We regret to inform you that your request has been denied.
    Your request was denied because the date of purchase for your replacement IPOD NANO is the same as the date of purchase of the original IPOD NANO. The replacement IPOD NANO is entitled to the remaining warranty coverage from the original IPOD NANO.
    Your IPOD NANO has the following date of purchase in our records: 02/14/2006
    Sincerely,
    AppleCare Agreement Administration
    This is what they wrote after looking at my letter about the 90 day warranty - hence my concern that it is worthless. Hopefully I never have to call AppleCare - they seem quite unhelpful.

  • Has anyone had any problem with the multi choice tick boxes on a windows computer?

    I have just created a form with check boxes on my iMac, emailed it to a windows based account and found that the check boxes don't work in windows explorer. Has anyone else had this problem?

    If your Mac is truly running MacOS 10.2.x, you are limited to using 128-bit WEP security - WPA is not supported.
    On the Linksys router, select 128-bit WEP and enter a passphrase. The router will generate, from the passphrase, four hexadecimal-format WEP keys. Copy down the FIRST of those four WEP keys - and use that WEP key on your Mac when prompted.

  • Has anyone had a problem with their phone dialer since 4.3 upgrade?

    My phone is useless unless I want to call someone from my contacts. As soon as I touch the phone app I get an error stating my contacts have stopped. I cant get this fixed. I've called Samsung and Verizon and tried all their suggestions and nothing works. The final suggestion from Verizon is to purchase a new phone a full cost because I'm not due for an upgrade until next year and I have a small crack in the corner of the screen so I'm not eligible for the trade in that the offer. They were kind enough to add that I can spread out the cost over a 1year period after I stated that a new phone would cost over $500. That is my only option at this point. Very frustrating, since I have been a customer for over 10 years! I signed the petition that is out there. Hopefully an upgrade comes soon to fix this upgrade.

    see if this helps:

  • Has anyone had a problem with their contact display on messages?

    I have turned off other contact groups, but when texting I get all groups displayed when I search for names. Not only this, some of them seem to have downloaded name info from sender! I also now get some email contacts displayed in text name line. Very odd! Never had this problem before update.
    I can't seem to find a way to switch this off. Somehow seems to be an iCloud mess up.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit, IE8, Dreamweaver CS4 and all is fine and identical to how it was under Vista 64.
    So whatever the issue is, it's probably resolvable.

  • Has anyone had any problem with Linksys?

    I haven been trying to connect to my Linksys with speedbooster and I can't figure it out. My entire life I have never used an apple computer.
    I have called the Linksys support people and they tell me the same thing: "We don't provide support for apple computers." That's great hugh?!!
    I am able to connect to the router without a WAP or WEP password but I don't want to leave a free signal around my area.
    This routers come with different WAP codes, also with Radial and WEP that is hard to know which one is the right one.
    Do you guys have any idea how I could be able to solve this problem? Has any of you guys have encounter something like this with Linksys?

    If your Mac is truly running MacOS 10.2.x, you are limited to using 128-bit WEP security - WPA is not supported.

  • Has anyone had this problem with their 9930?

    when i turn on the mobile network on my 9930 it begins to power cycle nonstop ive tried everything i mean everything possible with no luck. Any help?

        Hello Scottnew
    Let's get this issue fixed! I know I would be lost without access to the mobile network. Did this start after an application was downloaded? Please power down the device and remove and reinsert the battery.
    If the issue persists I would recommend a hard reset. Here's how to accomplish this: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=44185
    Please let me know if the issue persists after the hard reset.

  • Has anyone have any problems with 5s "sticking"?

    Has anyone had any problems with the 5s iPhone "sticking"? It's happened to me twice where I press the home button, and nothing happens.

    Yes.  Very sticky. especially the first time you go to click it after not using it for a bit.  Mine feels similar to if there were crumbs underneath, or parts crunching together.
    I just got off phone with Apple.  I thought it was my imagination and being too sensitive until just now seeing other posts having same complaint.   Apple rep on phone said it was not normal and for me to get it swapped out.
