Apple Macbook charger was the only one charger in my life which released magic smoke. I must admit that it was after I soldered new cable and assembled it with duct tape (because it was glued and I broke the plastic casing trying to pry it off), but that does not inspire much confidence in me anyway. I don't know why everyone prays Apple hardware which was so terrible in my life in so many occasions and the only reason I tolerate it is their good software.

You're blaming Apple for a charger that you took apart, soldered, and then put back together with duct tape, Elmer's and prayers?

Of course I do. It's unreliable, unrepairable and outright dangerous to use. I repaired plenty of devices before and Apple is worst of them all.

LOL. This is sarcasm, right?
