Need a power AC part replacement for a 2012 13.3" 2012 9,2 / MD102ll/A model MacBook Pro.

[Ant]

Hello.

https://imgur.com/a/VN9SaHQ shows the burned power adapter piece. :(
Will I be able to get it from a local Apple store on Tuesday since
tomorrow is an American holiday? If not, then where can I get one
quickly like from a local Orange County/Los Angeles area retail store?
The old MacBook Pro is 13.3" 9,2 / MD102ll/A model with Intel Core I7
CPU (2.9 ghz with 4 MB L3 cache (Turbo Boost up to 3.6 Ghz)) from 2012.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

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!

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). :(

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