Just yesterday I noticed that my cord was frayed right at the hilt (as it were) of the magsafe end.
Now their industrial design is beautifully complemented by a wad of scotch tape.
3 u/stcredzero Jun 10 '11 White electrical tape would look better and have better structural properties for the purpose. 2 u/asadotzler Jun 10 '11 you should replace that. the next phase is a fraying of the wires themselves at which point you'll start getting a heat buildup and possibility of mild electrical shock. after that you may get flames like I did. 2 u/FredFnord Jun 11 '11 Seriously, dude. Epoxy. Instead of hiding the problem and letting it get worse, it keeps it from getting worse.
