Free MagSafe Replacement Plan

Apple has released a new technical support bulletin that addresses an issue with MagSafe adapters becoming frayed or damaged. MagSafe adapters are the power supplies used in MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

Until now, Apple replaced damaged MagSafe adapters in Apple portables that were still under warranty. With the new support bulletin, Apple is instructing its service centers to replace any MagSafe adapter that shows cracks or is fraying, regardless of the state of the warranty.

If you have a MagSafe connector that is showing discoloration or any breaks or deformities in the rubber molding, you can take it to any Apple-authorized service center or retail Apple Store for evaluation and possible replacement.
