AC/DC Combo adapter failure/short

I bought the thin AC/DC combo adapter with my ThinkPad, and at first it seemed to work, but it quickly became clear that it had a short that would cause it to intermittently fail. I've isolated it to the point the cable exits the brick.
I first noticed the problem about 8 months ago, but sat on it too long and inadvertantly let the one-year anniversary of my laptop purchase expire. The product was barely used, and it has failed to work as advertised, so I would hope Lenovo will offer to replace it, even if the warranty period has technically expired.
But I can't figure out how (other than through the forums) to contact someone at Lenovo to find out whether you will honor this.
Help?
Tim
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As far as I've seen, you can't. The product is no longer in warrenty, and unless they modify the warentee (as they've sometimes done on faulty batteries) or issue a recall, there's not really much you can probably do. I've had nothing but problems with mine, and it is doing the same as yours just after the warentee period is up (I fried two of the DC plugs in the warentee period.) You're not the only one in the situation, but you probably will be stuck there until you buy a new one.

Hi,
1) First of all create the Seeburger Certificates.
2) You have to deploy those certiates in your Visual Administrator.
After that in Interration Builder -
> Receiver Agreement -
> In Security Settings -
>
                   AS2 Sender Configuration -
> Signing Key -
>give the certificate name over there.
                   AS2 Sender Configuration -
> Encription Certificate & Authenitication Certificate is there
                   u have to give u r certificate names over there.

Seeburger SFTP Sender Adapter Failure

Hello,
a SFTP sender channel causes the follow error when executing a poll cycle:
SFTP Adapter failure Details: while trying to invoke the method com.seeburger.uri.dt.sftp.schema.DtSFTPPollingResponse.setSuccessMessage(java.lang.String) of an object loaded from local variable 'e'
The server was pinged successfully so there should be no firewall issue. We are also able to logon to the server using a third-party SFTP client.
The error description is not very meaningful for tracking down the root cause.
Do you have any idea what could have caused this error?
Thank you.
Edited by: Guppenberger Florian on Jan 24, 2011 4:00 PM

For the Roll back error plz chk the below points.
1. Check the module parameters.
2. Make sure the sender agreement doesnt have any * 's.
Ex: The SA should not be like : | BS | SI_test_oa | * | *
SA should be like BS | SI_test_oa | |
3. If the input file has special chanracters , use the encoding .
If the above doesnt work, try to create a new communication channel and test it.
We also faced this error toomany times in the sender CC for sFTP advatco adapter.
Thanks,
Soumya.

Can anyone help me to identify the issue here ?

The certificate of your client must be maintained in AS2 keystore. Make sure that in the receiver agreement, you have given the same name. If certificate name is test.crt, then receiver agreement should have entry AS2keystore\test.

Are you using the "Use Authentication" option in the communication channel? If yes, then ensure that the user provided is correct and is not locked. Also recheck the authentication certificate settings.

Voltage converters/AC/DC Combo Adapter

Hi folks,
I need a converter/AC/DC adapter for my X61 to convert from 110 to 220 volts.
What came with my laptop was an AC adapter that says 65W 20V
Will that work in Grenada (Caribbean) and South America?
Also, would the 90 W slim AC/DC Combo adapter with a Blackberry tip from Lenovo work in a 220V country?
If neither one will work, can you tell me what I need to purchase?
I don't know anything about this conversion stuff so all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Belize Me

If this is a Lenovo X61 power adapter it should say "INPUT: 100-240V~" in the small print under where it says "65W 20V" i.e. you do not need a CONVERTER, but you will need a plug ADAPTER, since the power plugs are different shapes.
Here is a nice Wiki with a map showing what you need in each country.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Spare tips for Lenovo 90W AC/DC Combo Adapter

Just got the Combo Adapter, and wanted to order a spare tip to charge my Motorola cell phone with it. Dumb question - will the spare tip plug into the power cord of the adapter, or do you have to use the dual-charge cable for the tip to work? I rarely charge two items at once, and would prefer to not travel with an extra cord.

yes it works with the T510.

90W Ultraslim AC/DC Combo Adapter Making Clicking Noise

Hi. I have a brand new T420s with the 90W Ultraslim AC/DC combo adapter. When I have it plugged into the system it makes a clicking noise. When I unplug it from the T420s it has a very faint, high pitched humming noise. Is this normal?
Thanks!

no it is not normal. Call warranty for replacement.

Alerting adapter failures

Hi
I was wondering how we can throw alerts in case of adapter failures for JDBC/File adapter..Other middleware have provisions to monitor log files genetrated by adapter instances for this..Is something similar possible from SAP using say CCMS?
I need some suggestions and pointers to material and your ideas
Thanks and Regards

Sri,

Has info on CCMS config to monitor the J2EE engine. Have not tried it yet, so can't comment much on the granularity of monitoring support in CCMS.

Apple Mini DVI to DVI Adapter - Too short?

I want to connect my iMac 2.8 ghz, 24" screen to an external Philips 190B LCD monitor and use the Extended Desktop function.
The Philips Monitor model is the 190B6CG/00 and it is a single link monitor (Philips tell me it is DVI-D Receptacle Connector 24 pin = single link).
I'm looking at the Apple Mini DVI to DVI adapter here on the Apple Store. It looks like it should plug into my iMac one end then the other end into my Philips. However it looks like it is too short to reach my Philips Monitor. They are not a fantastic distance apart. In fact they are sat side by side - but I somehow can't see the Apple Adapter being long enough (unless it crosses a 3-sphere).
Presumably then, some sort of extension is required between the DVI end of the Apple adapter and the Philips Monitor's DVI input.
Does anyone know what this extension could be and where is may be purchased?
Regards

Hello to everyone who has replied to my cry for help.
Thank you all. I will apply points to everyone who has responded (so quickly too).
Scorpie
I totally agree. I have been thinking along these lines too. However, searching on the internet whilst researching, I found it difficult to decide what I needed because of the 'photos' supplied. They were ok as such but most didn't show very well the pin outs. Further research into the matter (and one website in particular - i.e. Maplin) made me realise that GENDER was involved. Also, with DVI, females look like males in web photos until you find a photo from the right angle. Same goes for VGA I reckon.
I'm certain most people looking at DVI (and VGA) cable/connectors can't tell the difference when the devices are only viewed from 'above' . In my opinion they need to be viewed more or less end-on to show where they have pins or holes. I mean full end-on, not at an angle where (as I found above) detail as to pin or hole is lost in digital or compression noise. This is what I have experienced in all but one of the web sites I have visited. Another thing, most websites have an 'enlarged version' button which, if selected, shows the same photo exactly the same size. No help whatsoever. But then there's no doubt you must already be well aware of this.
MyHighway
You are correct. The Philips did come with a VGA cable. However I want to connect to my iMac digitally (if I can) using DVI (it looks like a 'female' connector on inspection of the back of the Monitor). I have found it almost impossible to tell the difference from most photos on the web even with my new huge screen iMac. One of the reasons I'm am a little nonplussed I think.
mrtotes
Good point. If I take a photo of the back of my Philips and take the Apple connector down to Maplin perhaps I can compare and contrast with real specimens. Yo!!
I think I will give that a go.
You have all been very helpful indeed. Opened my eyes somewhat.
I wish a Merry Christmas to all my new Mac friends

Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter failure misdiagnosed

When I purchased my new MacBook Pro last December, I had to purchase Apple's Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter in order to continue using my Apple 20" Display monitor with it.
Turns out the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter dies so I no longer had access to use of my Apple 20" Display monitor
Only the cause of the display's going blank was not clear
I took my MacBook Pro and the 20" monitor tothe apple store Genius bar.
Using my computer and my 20" monitor, the Genius tried making it work with my bower block and with another one in the store. Nothing worked.
What he didn't test was the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter itself to see if that was the problem.
So I bought a new monitor and that didn't work either.
I had to go back to the Apple store Genius bar a second time for them to figure out that it was the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter.
Big PITA (Pain in the A..)
Poor diagnosis the first time gave me 10 days of frustration.
What's with that, Apple?
Steve

I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure. Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous). However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
Hope that htis helps.

Velco strap on new 170W power adapter too short

I see that the W520 has a larger power supply (170W). Unfortunately, someone in engineering forgot to lengthen the handy Velcro strap. It is not long enough to reach around the power supply. Please have someone look into that. The strap is not expensive, and fixing the design won't cost much, but I tell you, the feature of having a wraping and straping device on the power adapter is sadly lacking in this new design and really missed.

Not a good idea. I bet its getting hot. The new router draws a lot more power. Use a short extension cord would be a better idea

Combo drive failure: Ejects all discs

While watching a very scratched DVD, the combo drive on my month-old Mac Mini began making very loud noises; after that the film skipped and froze. After a few minutes of disturbingly loud knocking and clicking noises, I turned the computer off by pressing the power button. After restart, I ejected the disc by moving it to the trash icon in the dock. Now the combo drive refuses to read any other disc that I put in: DVD, music, or data. It makes spinning sounds and then ejects them after about 10 seconds.
Everything else is still working fine. Is the combo drive dead or is there a fix I can attempt at home?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It is possible that the drive has been damaged, in which case if it can't read the correct track of an inserted disk, it will automatically eject it. The fact the drive pulls the disk in and spins it up at all suggests the drive is otherwise functional, thus tending to indicate the lens is at fault.
You might first try a PMU/SMC reset (depending on whether yours is a PPC or Intel mini. This would be the first step if you were getting errors re failure to calibrate power when trying to write to a blank, and I would not have much confidence of it working in this situation since it seems unlikely to be a controller issue, but it's worth trying. Instructions are below - PMU if it's a PPC and SMC if it's an Intel.
If that doesn't help, try a lens cleaner. That has been known to help in these situations.
Ultimately, if the system is no longer under warranty, you would be better I think to get an external firewire drive than replace the internal. It would be much the same price and tend to give better performance!

Longer Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter too short

I just ordered a MacBook Pro 15" retina but the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter that Apple sells seems to be only like maximum 5" only.
Is there any other reputable brand that sells a longer one (at least 10")?

Not sure if ill get in trouble for this, and im not associated with this seller in any way apart from buying from them.
We bought 3 of these for our office and they work very well.
ps. they are 6ft long
