Just from my personal usage
The Adapter couldn't cope with charging a laptop
and supplying it power when cpu is fully loaded
and 3d card is fully loaded
and using DVD burner at same time
it overheated and stopped charging
and turned itself off
It was scarry I thought the charger was gone
it may be because the charger was under my pillow
by mistake ofcourse
but I didn't try the experiment again
It was also the only time the magsafe connector became hot
I hope its an isolated incidence I did see this news when it came out some time ago
and from what happened to me I became concerned and made sure I didn't charge
and overload the computer at the same time
Note Cpu alone ok but CPU & GPU & DVD Burner is when this happened to me
and again the charger was under my pillow
All I am saying if you have macbook pro and use 3d intensive processes
and are trying to charge a battery from 1% keep an eye on the charger
and the MagSafe connector
