MagSafe is turning red!

May 18th, 2007, filed under Apple, General

I’ve bought an Apple MacBook 13″ approximately one year ago. I’ve always installed Apple’s updates and also kept the custom installed software up-to-date. Cleaning the laptop every two weeks even became a ritual. Though the MagSafe connector on the MacBook is starting to show all kinds of red dots:

Is this the result of oxidation? Are there more MacBook users having the same thing shown in the picture? Is there any chance of damaging the MacBook. I’ve tried removing the red dots with a dry piece of cloth with no result.

Update: I’ve placed the above picture on a discussionboard. Turns out more people are having similar spots, though not as big and messy as mine. Most people say it’s harmless and no need to worry about it.

Maybe trying to repress your mass-murdering habits or at least plugging in your MagSafe connector while hacking away will do the trick… ;-)

(just kidding of course… those spots do look kinda curious!)
