As I write this my MBP is plugged in to a power cord with about two inches of bare wire just below the connector. This cord is only ~4 years old and it has had exposed wires for several years now. I can't see how my use is unusually hard on it. Definitely no doors, desks, or pets. It pretty much just sat in my room and I used it.
- mrmondo 10y agoHonestly: be really careful with that charger / cord - that could likely easily start a fire or spark and ignight something nearby. If you haven't the funds to replace it - may I suggest at least insulating it with either some non-conductive heatshrink or electrical tape to keep you going?
- coldtea 10y agoIn any case, perhaps replace it? Or you don't much care for electric shock, fire damage, fried electronics, etc?
- jkestner 10y agoFind an excuse to take your MBP to the Apple Store and let them see the power adapter. There's a good chance they'll replace it for you.
