I did get a ew adapter today at the apple store, but the only thing i do regret is not putting the apple care plan. That was a pretty big mistake because i could have saved myself 60 bucks from getting another adapter. I don't have another backup cord because i can't be buying extra cords. they cost quite a bit. Other than that it's now fine. I don't know how my chord died on me. it was working fine except that there was a tare on the end of the cable but that's because my cat decided to play with the cable and think it's a mouse that he can chase. Bad kitty! he tore the cable alittle bit. now i'm going to be careful and put in the drawer when not in use. Does anyone know how i can wrap the cable without forcing the parts where both the brick joins the cable to wear out? I often put that together along with a lot of other things inside my mesenger bag. the bag only has 2 pockets for a binder, computer and another one for all else so i just throw some other stuff in like my recorder and keys and small personal items. no wonder why my focus 40 blue doesn't fit in the bag. damn that's the only con.
Thank you.
