Hi All,

I got my 12" PB in February.. and it's been working like a gem (No problems, as others have gotten, eg. dead pixels, lid not closing, wobble, etc.) But over the last few weeks my portable power cable has been acting up. Sometimes Ill plug it in, and the amber light wont come up.. What Id do then is plug it into another socket, and it'd work.. However, this problem is becoming more and more frequent (And I suspect there is something wrong with the cord) Right now Ive tried sticking it into 4-different outlets, and it's still not charging my powerbook, the light doesnt turn up or anything (There's nothing wrong with my laptop as Ive plugged in my friend's powercable and it works fine). Any suggestions what I might do.. Should I open it up or call Apple? It costs over 109euro in Ireland to buy a new one.. something I dont want to have to do. Especially since it's barely 4months old.

Thanks

Call Apple..completely. They should replace it no problem. Unfortunately, you may have to wait a week or two...during which time you'd be without a power cable.
