I've been on a journey to get the mega safe light to turn of on my mac charger. I tried covering the middle 'adaptor sense' pin with a sticky piece of paper (post-it note clip) the light has actually gone out it's a miracle. the mac still reads as "fully charged" the light is out and the mac is plugged in and charged as i wanted. yet now i wonder if my mac not receiving information from the charger could effect how it is charged. my dad was worried about 'over charging'. old power cords of the past weren't as intelligent as current ones and you had to unplug them after a while or else they would over charge your computer. originally i was more concerned that it might just not charge.
