I expect this type of problem from other manufacturers. I have been lucky enough to able to repair the charger a few times by simply slicing the wires and puting some heat shrink on them. The most recent failure completely melted the wires together and caused an internal failure. I hate to say it, but I'm concerned about my house burning down with these things. They get hot enough to use as a space heater. It is for my wifes mac I gave her when I bought the new intel mac. Thankfully the new mag-safe charger hasn't failed yet but it gets "HOT as well." for shame apple!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree the chargers are substandard to say the least.
