  • Is light faulty on new 60w power adapter for my Macbook?

    Had to order a new 60w power adapter for my Macbook a couple of weeks ago -- bought it from the Apple Store (the new design adapter). When it's plugged in it turns green, then immediately turns red to recharge -- all normal. Once fully recharged the adapter light turns/stays green. But after awhile the adapter light goes out altogether. The icon shows it's charging, but the red (and green) light is off. If I remove the adapter and plug it back in the lights will come on again.
    Is this normal?
    Thanks.

    I think I'm experiencing the same problem. My computer charges but the light goes back and forth from being on or off, orange or green. I'm a little disappointed that the light could be burned out, but I guess a little light like that can't last forever. Oh well.
    Is it worth pursuing a replacement from Apple since I still have AppleCare? Just wondered.
    Anyway, this is really helpful information. Thanks for sharing.

  • Generic 60W power adapter

    My daughter broke her AC Power adapter that came with her MacBook. Went to my local apple store and they want $79.00 plus tax for a new one. Anyone out there have any luck buying a generic brand. I'm always a little bit nervous about this. Don't want to take a chance blowing up a expensive machine. Is it worth going generic to save a few bucks?
    Please advise.
    Tnx
    Rob -

    I have a friend that bought a generic one off of eBay for $20 for his Black Macbook. The adapter wire failed at the base and he put it away for a couple of weeks, then when he finally plugged it into an authentic adapter, the battery was useless with a (Zero) 0 in the charge status. Anyway, he got the new adapter and a generic battery on there, and has used it with no issues. He says the Macbook actually runs longer now. I looked at it with a lot of suspicion at first. I noticed that the Amber/Green LED on the tip actually functions exactly the same too. Overall, I think it was a great deal. He got both parts for less than an authentic adapter. I would trust it. Additionally, he even got a 1 year warranty on both parts. Use a USA seller like he did even though the parts are made in China like the authentic ones.

  • 60W Power Adapter - UK compatible?

    Hey guys, I have a quick question that I'm sure most of you would be able to answer, I hope.
    I am bringing my laptop from the US to the United Kingdom and was wondering if my 60W adapter for my macbook pro would work?
    Also, in the same note, should I buy plug converters to make the adapter fit the electrical outlets over there?
    Thank you so much!

    Yes, it will work in most any country, but you may need a plug adapter for the power outlets.

  • Power adapter 60w noise

    I have a week old MB Alum 2.4ghz model and have noticed that the 60w power adapter has a squealing sound, which you can hear quite easily in a semi-quiet room, or if you put your ear up to the adapter, the sound is even more noticeable....it stills charges, but there is the sound!
    ....so just wondering if this is normal or should i be contacting Apple for a replacement?
    i have tried the 60w power adapter from my 2007 MB (white) model and there is no sound from this one!
    cheers

    I had a similar problem but opposite- mine would make noise when the MagSafe was connected! After testing with a different power cord my computer made the same noise. Due mainly to another bug with my Airport Card, Apple is finally replacing the logic board and Airport card- hopefully this will eliminate the problem.
    You may want to try resetting the Power Management Unit to see if this fixes the problem:

  • Fake power adapter - can I tell from the serial number?

    Hi,
    I have a 60W power adapter (magsafe, t-plug) and I'm trying to establish whether it's an 'Apple approved' part. It looks like my other power adapter - same writing on the sides, same apple logo embossed into the side - but I no longer trust the source.
    Is there a way I can tell from its serial number? There is a number next to the cable socket, reading "RR84530725UA". I have a feeling that this might be a part not intended for UK market, or possibly one that has not passed the proper QA checks.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alastair

    Probably the best thing to do is take it to an Apple Store and compare it side-by-side with an Apple-branded adapter.

  • What to do with old 60w power adapters?

    I just bought a new 60w power adapter, since my old one wasn't working. Is there a place i can go to recycle the old one or is there a proper way to get rid of it as an aternative to just trowing it in the trash?

    You can drop it off at the nearest Apple Store. They'll take care of it with proper recycling/disposal.

  • NewMacBook Power Adapter Typo Error

    There is a typo error on this link: as per 11/08/2006 10:10 PM
    http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html
    That said it shipped with 60W Power adapter, but if we scrool on the specs table, it said comes with 85W Power Adapter (usually for MacBook Pro).
    Hope everybody that order this new MacBook do double check so nobody will be dissapointed later.
    And if there is moderator around, do inform the webmaster to fix the typo error to the rightfull information.
    Good Luck.

    There is truly moderator around, and the typo problem now fixed: 11/09/2006 3:45PM

    So the buyer will get the 60W Power adapter instead of 85 as stated before.
    Hope This Help.

  • Can you plug in your 60w magsafe power adapter to peru without harming it?

    Can you plug in your 60w magsafe power adapter to peru without harming it?

    Yes you will need a plug adapter, the power supply is rated for 100v-240v. Apple has a travel kit full of adapters you could also check the web for a particular one for your needs.

  • 60W portable power adapter

    i have a macbook. can't remember when i bought it. i'm thinking at least 5 years ago. i have the original 60W portable power adapter that it came with.
    recently, i've noticed that the adapter gets really hot. sometimes i have the adapter plugged into the wall, but not always with the computer.
    my 9 year old tells me this is not a problem. she says it's because i leave it plugged into the outlet and should remove it. but i also notice that it has been getting hot while hooked into the computer.
    i'm assuming i need a new one.
    if so, am i supposed to order the 60W MagSafe power adapter? the portion that plugs into the magnet on the computer looks a little different than my original.

    You can find out when your MB was manufactured along with a slew of other information. Just jot down your serial number and visit this site: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php

  • 85W or 60W MagSafe power adapter?

    I'm buying an extra power adapter for my MacBook to use at the office.
    Both the 85 watt MacBook Pro and 60 watt MacBook power adapters have MagSafe on them. They are both the same price. Should I consider the 85 watt adapter for my black MacBook? I was thinking that I could get the larger wattage version so that I'm not fully taxing the unit, allowing it to run cooler and potentially prolonging the life.
    I know this is kind of an off-the-wall question, but I'm curious about these things. Any thoughts are welcome.
