Magsafe adapter not "fitting" in to MacBook Pro I have a Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, and all was well before the weekend. Now when I try to fit in the MagSafe charger to the macbook, I am unable to fit it in correctly (but as you can see, it is charging):


When I tried to see what was in the macbook side of the adapter, I see some small balls:



These are not stationary but are sticking to the magnet there. Tiny little balls like this:

The plug looks like this:


Now, I am worried whether the magsafe power adapter has somehow started "disintegrating" (touch wood) or are these some kind of debris I collected somewhere. All was fine on friday and I travelled with my macbook pro over the weekend. I did not use the charger, neither did I travel to some industrial area to collect metallic debris.

Long story short: should I remove these balls and forget all these, or is it something bigger to worry...
You might want to check your power adapter's plug as to whether the debris stems from there. If the plug is all right, I'd just remove the debris and not worry any more about it.
