    they don't sell them separately, but they might replace it, especially
    if you have something under warranty. otherwise, you can buy the cable
    for $19, which you probably already have.

    I'm OK to rebuy its whole AC power cable package. It's too old to be
    under AppleCare since it was bought in 2012. :(

    another mac would suffice, maybe even a phone.

    however, if the burn was caused by a defective power adapter, it
    *should* be replaced, and before it causes additional problems.

    Yeah, I think it is better to buy the whole thing new since those parts might be falling apart
    for being old from 2012. I hope the local Apple store will have them when visiting in person!

    That doesn't mean they definitely won't replace it for free. You've been
    around this news group and Apple long enough to know that Apple often
    replaces and repairs things for free even outside of the warranty
    period. The only way you'll know is to bring it to them and see what
    they say.

    So, we went in the local Apple store. They didn't have any in stock so
    we had to pay for it online in the store to ship to home (free shipping though). :(

    No need for the frowny face. You didn't expect to get it for free. It
    was worth a shot. Maybe next time.

    I have good news! Apple shipped overnight! Wow. Apple store guy said a
    few days. OK, at least free shipping OVERNIGHT! Nice! :)
