Hi Gents

My gf's macbook pro charger has worn through (where it plugs into the mac). Any idea where I can get a replacement cable at reasonable cost? :confused:

Thanks
Craig
 
Tell a little about the charger:
(1) Is it the magsafe adapter that is worn? How did that happen?
(2) Which MBP is it? the 13" uses a 60W adapter and larger sizes require the 85W one.

Expect to pay around R1200 new. If you can get to Core's warehouse in Jet Park you might be able to score lower, but I doubt they have stock. ZAStore or iStore or Dionswired all have them at the retail price above (at least). Alternatively, if you can wait, go via Amazon and a remailer. I got my spare for ÂŁ30 (ZAR350 max) from UK. Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Hi Greg

Thanks for the reply. It is the magsafe adapter and just wear and tear I think. It's broken just before the plug where it plugs into the Mac and is the 85w version.
The cheapest i've been able to find is a guy on gumtree selling a second hand one for R750. :wtf:

Cheers
Craig
 
Ja - that's the thing. They way over-priced here and if you get a lower rating, you're gonna be in trouble sooner or later with the battery. Try amazon US - you may even be able to use a remailer that could have it here in a week for a total less than the R750

The older T-shape ones are less and still work just fine. Amazon US has them around $50 (R350) plus remailing shouldn't be too expensive.
 
www.spl.co.za and partstore.co.za are the same company. I used to use them but they don't keep stock on hand and delivery from overseas takes a while. Other than that they were a pleasure to deal with.

I have 85w Macbook Pro chargers for sale for R600 but I'm in Cape Town.
 
I'm still looking for one of these chargers and never heard back from Grandmaster Sensorei. Does anybody have a phone number for him or know where I can ick one up in CT?

Eish, I read your post now and then spotted the "New PM" highlighted in red at the top of the page. I haven't noticed that for a couple of weeks. Sorry lol. I have chargers if you need.
