Hye all mac sifus and fans..

I own a macbook 13" wif Intel C2D in it..

I've used it very lightly until recently i increase the usage to that laptop because i have to do some photoshop work with it..

but to my surprise.. the battery pack spoils very fast eventhough the battery pack is expansive(about Rm600 if im not mistaken)..

believe it or not i've got my battery replaced 3 times already since i bought it on december 2007 and lucky me it is still in warranty..

just now i was leaving my macbook on while i went out and fetch something and when i return and check on it i cant see a light(usualy green or red) on the charger's head..all of a sudden my charger fails to work and i dont even know if the port on my macbook or the charger itself spoiled..

i know if i send it to mac service centers it would cost me a fortune and a long time to get it fixed..

so i would like to ask all the mac sifus and fans out there if its possible to check if its the charger's fault or the port's fault myself..

and also which service centers would you prefer to send your mac to?(coz there are so many authorised resellers and service centeres)

if it is possible pls tell me if i can get any 2nd hand charger in lowyat as well..

thanks a million..

*edit*
just checked the prices..

RM319 for a god damn charger.. ~___~
RM559 for a battery pack

now im afraid that if i buy one it wont last long and i have to buy another one..

if i dont repair it i'll have another RM4000 piece of junk in my house lol..

oh well..guess i have no choice do i..

this is probably the last product i'll ever buy from mac apple..no more for me..coz the stuffs just spoils fast..unlike my old F-Tec which is still 99/100 kickin' right now lol..

sigh i am very dissapointed with mac..expansive things that tends to spoil fast.. are they blood suckers or what?
