So the power charger died for my 17" and when I called Apple they told me before taking my question if I wanted to buy applecare or I had to pay $50 to talk to the guy, I told him just give me a new charger because that is the problem and he did and din't charge me and I got the charger within 3 day. . . Pretty good service, he said there was no otion to overnight.

My question is, are these things prone to dying that quickly? Has anybody else experinced that?

i've had two chargers die on me in 9 months. when in a moment of anger i posted "apple uses cheap crap parts" for the charger i got killed here

i think the chargers are made for apple, and suspect that a batch or generation had some bad series in it, making it blow up.

apple exchanges them for free though, without too much trouble.
