Late 2009. Apple warranty is 12 month only right?

Dont know it's safe or not, but you can try to spray some WD-40 in it, push it in out again. If ok let it dry before using again.

Did you buy AppleCare? If you did then it is 3 years warranty

totally agreed.. No such things as OEM Apple.. But these day if you ask youngster that using iphone. And you tell them about original & OEM different.... They'll ans you, I buy OEM charger just cost me rm10. If original expensive. LoL

They will learn the lesson when their iPhone one day stop charging or something else went wrong.

There's no need to always buy Apple original, there are plenty of trust-worthy 3rd party brand like belkin, griffin, padcase...

instead of getting griffin.. i guess the price almost same wit original right..?

i'm still waiting for the day that apple provides a 3pin plug head that has earthing capabilities to it. since i chickened out on wei's diy step and all

I'm just giving general example, I have no interest doing price check here.

No offense bro...
Cheers... =)
Btw, just got my ACPP for my MBP 10'

I changed 4 times my macbook and im tired of changing and accepted the one with direct three pin with static.. only i found this forum...

lucky is not only me.. the seller never inform me about this problem..

but i did bring my macbook to garden and test with other display macbook.. the display will not have statics or shock.. only mine will have.. i tried with their charger on mine and back to the display.. the staff also said why mine have static/shock...

can this grounding issue over come by using arm guard and cover case??

currently using the long cord 3 pin plug original comes with mac book pro, but i got bad grounding issue.

So long you are not touching the metal part of the Mac you won't get the shock, but prolong usage with bad grounding are known to cause other hardware issues, it's best to check your charger or power source to find our what causing it.

My 15" MBP will turn 2 in October.
I recently updated it to the new mountain lion.

When it is charged to 100%, I continue to leave it plugged in.
When I'm home, I usually use the power source. Only when I take it out the house that I use the battery which is about 3 days a week. I usually drain the battery once a month. The cycle count is 255.

The problem is, after I updated the OS, when its fully charged at 100%, it will drop to 99% after a day and by the next day its 98%. It hasn't gone to 97% yet. The old OS used to display "Charged".

What I always do at the end of the day is shut down and switch off the power. The next time I use it, I turn the power back on. Does this have an effect on the battery?

When you shutdown the Mac, it uses very very little current. So it's safe to say that it's not using the battery life. Unless you stored the Mac for prolong period. There's no need to keep the charger powered when your Mac is off and fully charged. Although the new charger is smart enough to turn into power safe mode when it sense the battery is full.

So the percentage going down is not a worry? The battery is fully charged but the display shows 98% (it was 99% yesterday).

Not to worry. But it's good to unplug anything that's connected to your Mac when not in use.

Battery will looses charges even not in use.

thanks a lot.

My charger's dead due to the same reason as radiant's - seen in his pic. The Magsafe pin - on of them - at exactly the same spot as radiant's one - is tenggelam.

I've only realised Wei have answered my question/post in a misplaced post.

Thanks Wei! Will update later.

Most prob gonna go and claim for a new charger after my exams next week...

I just hope they dont give me any shi† about it, and just do a quick one to one. Crosses fingers!

How do you actually take care of your MacBookPro's Battery ?

I'm using my MBP 15" like a desktop , with 85 Cycles and 96% health over 3months of usage..

Should i be concerned ? And how does Apple's Warranty cover this ?

Cause i bought the ACPP too..

Do clarify thanks.. I was told to charge to 100% - unplug charger - use to 10-20% then charge again.

when the battery is fully charge,should we unplug the power or is safe to keep using it with the power on?some people say it will decrease the battery life if we dun unplug the power after fully charge.
