Brick means the power adapter?

I've gotten 4 or 5 replacements, for free. I always have spares (instead of carrying them with me). So always claim "Dude, weird, I just bought this a few months ago."

Given the past drama, I think Apple just swaps them, to avoid any further bad PR.

And, frankly, these adapters should last forever. For comparison, I don't think I've ever replaced an HP or Dell adapter.




I never replaced those either, but HP adapter did melt the plastic cover on one of my laptops and I started to see the naked wiring (on the DC side). I bandaged it with some tape.


Pre MagSafe I used to see a lot of Apple laptops with gaping holes around the power adaptor from various accidents. RIP MagSafe.
