So my puppies chewed up my power cord both sides, the part that plugs into the macbook and the extension cable.
Apple sells these for $79.00.

I only need the end that goes into the macbook and can use an regular extension cord if I need too.

Found a seller on amazon but too many bad reviews.
So were can I get just the charger cable without the extension?

Unfortunately Tony...I think Apple has a patent on the design of the MagSafe connector and they have not licensed it to any third party companies to make. So..you are probably stick getting the only one out there...the Apple one. And since i don't think they sell the chord separate from the charging block...thatis probably the only way. Unless you can go into an "authorized" Apple repair place that is NOT Apple directly...like in LA we have Melrose MAC or Macmall...and perhaps they can order the individual part for you as a repair shop and then only charge you for the chord.

I fgured as much.

Just bugs me that I need to spend $80 every 2 years or so for a cord.
