    Hi all,

    Seems to be a common occurrence, but the charger is not working for the mac book.
    I used a friends charger and it works fine so I'm sure its the charger rather than the actual laptop.

    My question is, should I get the charger repaired or buy a new one? (new ones seem to be about €80) and if I should get it repaired, where around Dublin city centre could do it for me or should I even bother?

    Thanks in advance

    I think the safer option is a new charger and I would personally buy the official one from Apple and not eBay.

    Had to do the same thing myself unfortunately! But when it comes to battery's and chargers, cheap Chinese imitations just aren't worth the risk.
