[Ch40s]

I purchased my 2.4ghz Macbook a couple weeks back, and the first time I went to recharge the battery via the Magsafe power adapter it would not work. The indicator light was not on, and the Macbook was still running on battery. Assuming it was nothing, I fiddled with this and adjusted that and eventually got it working after moving the connection site between the Macbook plug in wire and the "big white block thingy". It's been fine since.

Fast forward to today, however, I plug in the adapter and the light does not come on and the Macbook is still running on battery. So I assume it'll be a quick fix like it was the first time, but after adjusting this and fiddling with that the power adapter will still not work.

So I bring both the power adapter and the Macbook down to Future Shop where I bought them, knowing it's a free replacement on the broken power adapter. First we started by plugging my Macbook in with a different adapter. It worked. Great, I was right, it's my power adapter that's broken. Wrong. The guy plugs my Macbook in via my power adapter, and it works. After a frustrating series of questions such as "are you sure you plugged it in" and whatnot, I'm back at home and it's working.

So now I'm left to conclude that there is something up with my Macbook. A wire loose by the port, I'm sure, since it took me carrying it around for the power adapter to work again.

So my question is, if it is indeed something wrong with the Macbook, what type of solution am I looking at? If one day the power adapter does not work at all (even at Future Shop, Murphy's forces permitting), will it be a quick "let's open your laptop, oh here's what's loose"? Or is this going to be a "you need whole new laptop, you'll get it from Apple in a couple weeks (months)"?. Perhaps some solution in between? I use my Macbook for school (all my notes) so this could potentially be a big problem.
