Apple replacing MagSafe power adapters for free!
It seems that enough people have complained, and Apple has decided it’s willing to lower its profit margins by a few cents and give away replacement MagSafe Power Adapters should yours fray and fall apart.
Many MacBook and MacBook Pro owners have reported their MagSafe Power Adapters fraying just below the head and, at times, shorting. These reports have been coming in since the introduction of MagSafe into the notebook line, but Apple has done nothing about it until this week.
A new support page confirms that whether the product is in or out of warranty, any Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider will replace the adapter free of charge.

People sitting next to me could the smile on my face when I read this, only to be wiped off again, as they are only replacing the adapter if it’s falling apart on the MagSafe end, not if it’s at the adapter end, like mine is. :(
(funny coincidence; the captcha reads “finally24” ;)

Then I figured I could take some electrical tape even though that wouldn’t be esthetically pleasing. So glad I found this info as I was able to get a new and smaller adapter for $0.00 :)
I forgot to ask if they’d replace it if it frayed again?
