I went to a Apple store trying to get a 'their fault free recall replacement' as this one was newer (OEM MBP) than all my other ones. I had a adapter that was beheaded internally and would rotate 360° and obviously not work. Keep plugging at it and you will find the right one I should also mention that some stores and genius are more lenient than others. If the above doesn’t work ask them is there anything they can do such as a discount because you don’t have that much money. If you are out of warranty mention the recall on the charger email, and tell them you called apple directly and they told you to bring in. Give your Mac a nice cleaning – it shows you take care of it, taking it in a sleeve is also helpful (received this advice from this post)īe very nice to your genius (It causes then to soften up) ie how is your day going, wow its hectic in here how are you holding up. I casually mentioned that I received an email about the recall and she informed me that it was not for L shape but the T shape, and said she would see if she could replace it under that policy and it worked! So I took the adapter and my MacBook air to my local apple store (Miami-Aventura, Florida) and was told that they could not help me because my mba was out of warranty. My charger would not work sometimes and I would have to clean the adapter charging port, and the charger itself until finally it died. I too experienced an issue with my magsafe charger. The aftermarket modding has no effect at all on the cable, it's not like the cable or connection is modded at all. I think apple has an obligation to replace the defective cable. I am going to take one more try at escalating through apples customer service, then I'll be contacting the lawyers involved in the class action lawsuit. The idea that apple supplied faulty cables, and then doesn't have to replace them because of the modbook conversion voiding the warranty is both ludicris and not in line with the language in the class action settlement. However, the class action settlement doesn't say anything about a warranty, it says if I am in the US (I am) bought the computer as the original owner (I did) and there is stress relief damage (there is) I am a member of the class. They replaced my macbook cable without hassle but refused to replace my modbook cable that had the same issue, claiming aftermarket modding voided the warranty. If your Mac is eligible for the program, you should contact Apple to take it to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.I have 2 computers that had frayed cables, a macbook and a modbook, which I purchased at the same time.
