After three years of careful used the MagSafe power adapter of Apple’s Macbook finally fall apart. The power cord was torn into two pieces from the base and its coaxial cable. Anything that is used more often tends to wear out naturally. I jumped into conclusion that I have to spend extra PhP 5,000 the most (approx.
