Er.... no better option meh than breaking the damn thing and then soldering it or taping it back? UGLEEEE lah wei...

And it sure is unfortunate I don't have a spare one for my MBP - don't like carrying it all the place - if only I could have one in the office and one at home, that'll be sufficient!! kEKekekEKkekekeke.... but I'm not willing to pay the additional $ to get the additional one !

Are we only referring to power adapters for 'mobile' Mac machines? [iBook, PowerBook, etc etc?] Or are we also referring to those of the G2/G3/G4/G5s too?

Andf thank GOD I ain't having this problem with my machine but Good Luck to u guys and have fun dismantling - afterall, it's a part of one of your hobbies? *grins*

@yetieater,
That's not a duck tape. That's uhm.. a TAPED DUCK!

@wei,
So have u tested if it'll work? There are pros and cons to the adaptor being so 'difficult' to crack open. In fact, I think it's good - I certainly don't expect the wiring inside to die on me (but it obviously did for some of u guys) and I certainly expect the thing to be hardy from all the carrying around....

Speaking of which, is it ok for the MBP to use the MB's charger? (MBP = 85w and MB = 60w)

@AppleMacUser,
If it works then good. Just be cautious when ur using it - and ensure the tape doesn't melt due to heat.

Also, definition of 'low income' is unique to most individuals. In my opinion, most of us would say we're earning enough - but hey, at the very least u have sufficient $ to get urself a computer. What about families (of 4!) who lives of RM1k per month?

Be thankful with what u have
