Hi all,
Ok, not quite exploding, but noisy! ![]()
Last night before i went out i detached the magsafe end from my Macbook Pro but left it plugged into the wall. This morning it would appear that the fuse inside the British/Singapore plug had blown and it wouldn't charge the laptop. I swapped to a euro power cable and connected it to the laptop, and the green light on the magsafe thingy would go green for 2 or 3 seconds then go off, even though the battery is dead and needs a full charge. I id this repeatedly and cleaned the contacts with some dry tissue.
I read on the apple website about disconnecting for one minute etc the reconnecting and when i did that i got a loud bang from the white, square transformer and it threw the breaker for the whole house. It was very hot.
Now i get no lights however i connect it.
Nothing else in the house has any damage that would suggest a power surge or dirty power causing this.
Anyone ever experienced anything like this? What is the best way to get apple to fix it? I bought it in Singapore, can i take it to any service centre? (woohoo Jakarta trip?)
