Are power supplies a problem with these newer models?

My daughter bought a MacBook Pro - refurb - after 54 weeks the power supply failed. A trip to the Apple store and she was told that it was unfortunate but that there was nothing they could do other than to sell her a new one...

Might be worth quoting:

Aha. That's what I'm after as well; my sister-in-law's MacBook has died (I know, I know, the zoaran curse returns again) after 15 months. I saw this in the dead tree Guardian but forgot to keep it.

There's also - as mentioned in the article, and incessantly by me - the Sale of Goods act (which is more than two years; a "reasonable time", usually interpreted a six years).

Anyway, thanks for the linky - will call Apple tomorrow.

Still struggling here; Apple seem determined to fight to the death or until you give up...

Anyway, another appointment with those Geneii at the weekend, lets hope that sorts it.
