Crease in macbook pro charger cable

Hi there, there's a small crease im my macbook pro 2011 charger cable. It is right before the bit you plug into the macbook pro and it's really annoying me as I'm worried it will tear. Is there any way i can remove this crease.
Also which is the correct way to put the mag safe charger in. do I have the wire go alongside the laptop or from behind?

No. Make an appointment at an Apple store. Let the geniuses look at it.

Doesn't really matter, although from behind, unless you want to block ports.

  • MacBook pro charger cable ripped

    I was using my MacBook pro earlier today and I heard a spark noise only to find my charger sparking at the end where it connects to the brick. There was a little tear before this, but until the sparking happened the rubber surrounding the cord was mostly intact- I didn't think it would cause this so I left it alone. I always was sure to store my charger correctly and while traveling, but that still didn't prevent this. Will my apple care cover it to get a new charger?

  • Macbook pro charger cable.. broken!

    I have only just realized that my macbook pro's charger has broken at the neck, right under the plastic part that attaches to the computer. The wire inside has frayed and the coated layer of the wire seems to have melted.
    I have only had my macbook pro for 5 months and am very disappointed this has happened already. Has this happened to anybody else? But more importantly, will Apple replace my charger free of charge under warranty?
    Thanks guys.

  • MacBook Pro Charger cable

    My MacBook charges fine, but when I plug in the 4 pin plug, the light turns red and after a second or so will go out and stay off until fully charged when the green light comes on. I have no orange whilst charging. However if I gently lift the plug, the orange light will come on.
    Can anyone help, I miss my orange light!,,

    Best guess is the connector is failing. If your computer is still under Applecare, so is your charger. A trip to the Genius Bar or a call to Apple support will get you a replacement in that case.
    If you're out of Applecare and decide you want to buy a new one, do yourself a favor and buy the genuine Apple stuff. People have reported damaging their machines and worse with the third party stuff.

  • MacBook Pro Charger - Intermittantly Stops Working

    Hi All,
    I have had my macbook pro now for just over a year and unlucky for me im 20 days out of my 1 year warrenty and now not entitle to upgrade to apple care because of this when i phoned techincal support
    The macbook pro charger is working intermittantly so it isnt completely dead.
    if i wiggle it around or sit the cables just right it will work but it isnt working 1005 off the time like it used to.
    I have a 2010 macbook pro with the L shape charger. I have manager to get another old style T shape charger off my friend which works perfectly with my macbook pro but will this harm my battery life because im using an "older" charger? but its brand new. also do you think its worth going into my local apple store in milton keynes to see if they can help me at all? as my gripe is you pay £1000 for a laptop and one year on the charger brakes. And i do look after my equipment. Its not like i throw it about or mistreat it.
    I think it could of happened early if i used it more.
    Is this a common fault?
    Thanks
    Daniel

    If you have bought AppleCare Extended Warranty, MBP is in warranty for 3years
    from the date of purchase.
    Best thing to do, is to take the MBP to the Apple store for evaluation and possible repair / replacement.

  • Macbook pro charger- burning out.  surveyish?

    i have already swapped my macbook pro charger out twice, as after 2 months they tend to stop working, and the problem is the little place where the wire meets the magnetic connector. i know that bending it ruins its durability and life, so i tried to not do that. i thought i did it pretty successfully, until my first charger burnt out after it got extremely hot. it would stop charging for periods at a time, and there were places in the wire, specifically where it met the power brick and connector, where you could see right to the copper/ whatever the **** material it is because it got so hot that it melted the plastic. the apple store has replaced it twice, and i am about to go in for the 3RD charger. does anyone have a recommendation on something that would hold the wire still inbetween the connector and full wire? and who else has had this problem? there isnt a problem with the mbp, its just the connectors suck as5 and blow out.

    Ditto over here.
    My connector-cable junction has always been slightly twisted. It's a more complex curve than just a twist, but wasn't perfect from the factory for sure.
    The plastic jacket has now just torn this week and there's braided shielding and lots of unsavory bits showing.
    Oh, and it started to singe a cushion it was touching. It was starting to burn.
    Very antithetical to the "It just works" vibe.
    "It just burns" is more like it. =:o
    Seems like this particular Achilles heel didn't get much field testing before it was unleashed.
    Wasn't the Mag-Safe connector supposed to put an end to the whole problem of a $3,000 laptop being felled by a $1.79 connector/jacket on the AC adapter?
    I'm on batteries four and five as of this writing, so the topic of power management and the MBP is getting to be a rather sore subject.
    Will try to swap it out at work or might have to belly up to the Genius Bar.

  • Macbook pro charger wont work AT ALL!

    Words cannot even explain how furious I am. My 9 month old MacBook Pro charger does not work, all of a sudden!
    There is no damage to the charger at all and my laptop is in great condition. I need a solution and fast because this laptop has my whole life on it which leaves me irritated seeming i need it for my studies!! I don't know what to do, its 4am in the morning in australia and my laptop is completely dead! HELP!!!!!

    Take your computer and power adapter to the Apple Store when it opens in the morning and they will take care of it.
    This problem is often caused by winding the DC (computer-end) of the cord directly around the "ears" on the body of the power adapter. The "approved method" is to make a one to two inch (25-50mm) loop in the air, THEN begin winding the cord.
    I bought my wife an aftermarket car-charger for her MacBook. In addition to being able to use the computer for a while in the car, now we have a backup. If the regular charger dies, we can recharge the 'Book off the car.

  • Macbook Pro charger burned- help? (Pics)

    My Macbook Pro charger has been acting weird the past few days: not charging, getting really hot, etc. I went to charge my computer today only to find that the coating over the wires was burned and melted!
    I charged my computer last night while watching a movie and unplugged it before going to sleep. I did not use the charger today at all so it must have happened last night?
    I do not leave it plugged in without my computer attached.
    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro 13".
    Has this happened to anyone else before? If so, did Apple replace it? Could this have started a fire??
    Thanks, feel free to ask any questions if you need more info

    I guess - welcome to the club Just had mine burned - with smoke and smell. Good - I was working at home and I have an Apple Store nearby. Bad - $89+tx for the charger. Whatever was the actual reason - this must not happen. This thing can burn the house. Needless to mention that this specific charger - I was keeping it always at home and never wrapped the wire around it. Never in my life anything like this happened to any power adapter.

  • Macbook Pro charger Problem

    My Macbook Pro charger does not light up anymore when plugged in?  Have tried multiple plugs around the house and still nothing?  Problem with the charger or the computer itself?  do they wear out?

    Take everything in for analysis.

  • Macbook Pro charger broken still under warranty

    My macbook pro charger has a little split. The charger in still in the warranty period but I don't have the receipt. Just wondering will Apple replace my charger?

    Check you warranty status here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If the warranty is in effect, I should think the charger would be coverrd if the problem is not caused by abuse.
    Ciao.
