MacBook Pro - Power problems
I am coming across two problems relating to the power on my MacBook Pro:
1) The power converter/brick is not charging the computer. I noticed this just before I was about to go a trip and was very concerned that I will not have power when I go to Vietnam. I don't think I can find an AppleCare there. After fiddling around with it, I found out that it is a loose wire somewhere next to the MagSafe connector. If I move it around a little it, then I may get a power to charge the computer. So I just have to watch it to make sure I am charging.
2) On this same trip in the last couple of days, I have gotten electric shocks from the edge of the laptop. When I rest my wrist on the pad to type, I will get a shock at certain angles. This also happens at the left corner and only on my wrist (rather than my finger). I can certainly duplicate this so it is not a sporadic occurence.
In any case, when I get back to Singapore in a few days, I will take it to AppleCare and have them take a look. I will update....
