After a series of issues regarding quality design, Apple has currently halted its shipments of MagSafe power adapters and seems to be working on a fix, according to AppleInsider.

Several sources close to the story have stated that Apple began pulling its 85 watt MagSafe power adapters from its retail locations a few weeks ago. The sources have stated that Apple has also discontinued shipments of the MagSafe adapters to third party retailers ahead of "redesigned" models that are expected to ship in late October or early November.

MacBook Pro owners have reported at least three reoccurring issues with their adapters, including the tendency to heat up and fray near both the power brick and MagSafe adapter, which creates a potential hazard.

Another issue includes a tendency for the MagSafe adapter's pins to improperly spring back into place. The bug can result in a faulty connection.

The final major bug with the adapters centers around the LED indicator light will intermittently shut off even though the adapter continues to charge the MacBook Pro.

The Apple online store has indicated that new orders for the MacBook Pro's 85 watt power adapter will ship in two to three weeks. Apple is currently declining to ship replacement units until the redesigned adapters are available to send out with other retailers listing the part on backorder.
