Can the magnet pull things in to short out the computer?
AS you documented, the MAGSAFE has a delay before powering up as safety measure, notice the delay in the LED.
I am on my 5th Magsafe charger, bad cords all go gooey at a year+_.
I am not sure if the counterfeit Magsafe cords that lack the chip are safe in terms of this short protection.. Thnx good promo of a good item
I could just use non sheilded wire, you dont mention the value of the Coax, but I know it can be important from other teardowns that measure leakage
I continue to appreciate the teardown you did of the Counterfeit charger I sent you and was interested if you had any experience with the chinese universal (45wat, 60 watt, 80watt) cords to use as replacement. I saw your comment that implied they were better, but , that can be relative, as you know. thanks again
