I think what he means is that his laptop power cord broke and he is getting a new one now.

Did it break, or did it start making a sizzling noise when you plugged it into an outlet? That's what happened to the power supply for my rMBP...

Cord started tearing. Happens to be about every two years. Lots of wear and tear.

I've had my MacBook Pro for more than two years. It's my primary computer, and I use it all the time. I haven't had any problems with my cord at all. #You'reDoingItWrong

I've had my MBpro about two and half years and I just had to replace my cord because it tore. I guess Ryan just needs to live a more rugged lifestyle lol

My chocolate lab ate my power chord the day the Vols choked on the West Coast versus UCLA to open Fulmer's last season. I scrambled to lift the dog while ushering him out of the room and I threw my back out. I had been watching the game with multiple ice packs on my person after falling off my bike the previous day during a triathlon in which I came in last.
...and then Lane Kiffin came to town.

Are we sure you didn't rip it out of the computer and whip it across the desk edge when you heard CJG was leaving for Florida State??

Ryno is Charmin soft. And not just any Charmin. The expensive kind with the green wrapper — the Aloe and Vitamin E kind.

I didn't break anything this morning, but I wasn't in the best of moods. I said lots of bad words. The Redhead will attest.
SEARCHES. SUCK.

Don't be sad. I don't think you'll need to search long for a new chord.
