The charger for my macbook is giving up. My dad insists it's probably a loose connection, I think it might be overheating, but either way, I have about ten minutes of power left in the battery, and my Linux desktop won't get online at the moment so I may be without internets for some while. I am miserable at the moment and this is not going to help, not to mention slowing down my house-hunt and job-hunt. I'm pissed off. I am going to have to get some sort of replacement, probably at the Apple Store in Manchester this coming weekend (if I can manage to get there at all); it ought to be in warranty as it was bought in December 2007 but I don't think I registered it and so I don't know what to do about it. Thoughts welcome. I'll have to go to the uni library to read them, obviously.

ETA: thanks for replies, much appreciated, will investigate, 7% battery so heading offline.

When the charger on my powerbook overheated, I was told that it wasn't covered by the warranty, as it's counted as an accessory/consumable, not part of the computer itself. So you may find that you have no choice but to buy a new one.

Warranty literature mentions the battery as a consumable, but possibly not the power supply. Will find out. :)
