Ermmm my Powerbrick just caught fire

[dobbsy]

Hiss, pop, then a load of smoke from my Powerbook G4 powerbrick, just disconnected everything and the wire close to the brick has melted!

I'm not under warranty but i'm slightly concerned here, can I get a replacement FOC, if I blag and talk nicely?

Thanks guys. Will try give them a call first thing. Bought this off a mate at work and it's his 2nd adapter already. First just stopped charging completely!

Just to update you chaps.

Kept waiting for an hour on the phone this morning.

Firstly got told, 'but it's not in warranty' So, i basically told him that I will not be leaving the line until i've been given there word for a new one.

All sorted in the end, was put through to a bloke higher up the ladder who sorted things for me and asked if I was ok etc etc.

New adapter will be in the post, just got to return this current one for my money back.

Result in the end but sweet jesus, if me house had been up in flames!!!
