Adapter ringed pin connector

I'm clumsy. I regualrly trip over my power cord, bending the little circular pin connector. I ended of ripping the little plastic connector so badly that I could only get it to charge if I held the cord in a certain position. I've actually gone through two of these. No one I have spoken with is able to tell me what kind of connector to use or where to find one. This is the end that glows when it is charing and sis green when it is charged. I don't really need to lights .... just the connector. I mean it is a what, $.10 part? All I would need to do is cut off the old one, strip back some of the plastic coating a bit, find the two wire and connect them to a different plug. Can't be that hard, right?
The problem is that the only solution offered is to purcahse a whole new power supply for $75. Doesn't make sense. Is this a bizarre type of connector made only and uniquely for Apple? Shouldn't I be able to fix this?
Thanks for whatever help you can give me.

Yes, real people in the real world do trip over power cords. It is too bad that Apple's connector is so sensitive and prone to damage. What is worse is the fix costs $75. I'm not convinced that the connector is proprietry. I read on Mac Fix It about a guy who bought a cord with the approrpaite connector and connected it to the adapter. That seemed a little extreme. He said, or course, that it didn't have the green ande amber lights of the original, but it worked.
I was thinking more along the lines of finding a connector and stripping the connecting wire (after removing the original connector) and connecting the new ring connector.
This simple task seems to be below the geeks here.

New iPad with retina display with 30 pin connector mirroring to TV with dvi adapter problems after software update

Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Pin connector of ze2308wm notebook ac adapter gets too hot

My pin connector of my ac adapter gets too hot whenever I'm working on my ze2308 wm notebook. It doesn't whenever I set it on "Standby." Is this normal like that of ac adapter?

Hello dbuser!
Welcome to the Forums Community! How long have you experienced the A/C Adapter getting hot? Were you using a different battery before the 6 cell?
According the the e530 Personal Systems Reference the 65W Adapter is the correct adapter for the 6 cell battery. It is possible that you have a defective adapter. Does the adapter make any noise, buzzing or cracking sound? If it is making any noise there is a definete issue with the adapter you are using.

Adapter to charge iPhone 5 from 12 volt 30-pin connector

I have a 2005 VW that lets me play an iPod through the car stereo. That's good. However the connection is via a 30-pin connector with 12 V (Firewire I think) charging circuit. So an iPhone or newer iPod won't charge. I'd like to use it with an iPhone 5 which means I need an adapter for a Lightning connector. Does anybody know of a way to make this work? I'd like to be able to both play music from the phone and charge the phone.
In case it helps / makes a difference the interface to the radio is VW part number 1K0051444.

If the VW wiring is the old firewire implementation( and from that date it probably is ) then you will need
a 30 to 30 pin adapter to change the wiring for newer Apple devices .I used Scosche brand adapter successfully ( a premium brand )
Then to use a lightning device the Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter .( Use Apple for best chance of success, cheap knockoffs I would not recommend )
Wll it will work ,who knows but if you want this simple solution give it a try
ps I doubt there is 12 v in the ols 30 pin connector ,it will be 5v but pins do not match the later iOS devives

IPhone dock 30-pin connector to line-out 3.5mm adapter/cable?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a compact adaptor or cable to go from my iPhone 30-pin connector to a 3.5mm cable (or 3.5mm plug). Wondering if there are any recommendations, as some pre-date the iPhone and thus prompt the iPhone to switch to airport mode...
I've found:
SendStation - Products - PocketDock Line Mini Out USB (I don't need the USB part, but it's handy I guess)

There are no doubt other (maybe better?) options so look forward to any tips.
Cheers,

Did deeper research. It's apparently true that phone call audio is not and cannot be routed to the "line out" of the iPhone. I'm disappointed. It appears to be a hardware design thing, as I've found no app that would enable this, and darned if I can think of a situation that would have this capability as a downside.

Rx-1050-td128e s-video or not, adapter? pin-out?

Hi
Opened my new rx-1050 the tv-out isnt a s-video connector. It is a 8 pin connector. I doubt it is S-video, even though it is named that on the home page?
Can i get the pin-out to it? Can i get a reseller to cable-adapter suitable to it? Partno?
No cable included in the box, and only a picture of a cable on the homepage, no info at all what it is or where i can find it!

Dual 30-pin connector

Is there way to connect more than 1 accessory to an iPad? I've got a MIDI adapter used with an app, and I'd like to output the display from the iPad to a monitor (using the VGA adapter) at the same time.
If it's not possible to connect 2 30-pin accessories, is there another way to get the video output to a monitor that might work? Thanks!

Tried a google search. I was at least expecting something saying that it wasn't possible, but maybe my google foo isn't working well today I did see an Apple HDMI adapter with a 2nd 30 pin connector built in (for charging), but I was hoping to be able to use a VGA adapter.
It does seem like there's no dual 30 pin connector. That's why I asked about any other options - maybe a bluetooth video adapter or something.
Thanks!

My apple lightening to 30 pin connector doesn't play analog music

When I plug in my iphone 5 to the apple brand lightening adaptor to 30 pin connector music does not play through my speakers on my radio, it plays through the iphone speakers. It does charge if I have my 12V to USB charger converter in there, but with that converter in or out, still no analog music plays.
My 30 pin nano works just find through the speakers.
Please help!

A friend had the same complaint. I took my Apple adapter out of my car and put it in place of his and everything worked perfectly. I suggest he do as I did and go the Apple Store for the adapter rather then his third party one that while cheap has been proven to actually be worthless.

Pin connector for front headphone ja

The front headphone jack cable connection on my Dell 4600 is incompatible with my new Xtreme Gamer soundcard's male pin connection. Can anyone tell me where to find the correct female pin connector, and how do I know which leads go to which pin slots?Thanks?

more or less to adapt the here is the crude way to do it. DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. . Check to see if you have some slack from /8-/4" of an in in cable is going bye bye.2. Cut all the wires or the cable with all the colored ones in them about /2-" up the line.3. Strip exposed ends as to allow splicing on the Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Black, and brown cables only.4. on the plug side twist together these wire colors [The should always be back to back]:?Blue and Green??Yellow and Orange5. Splice the wires together from plug piece to wires goint to front:??[Blue+Green {Step 4}] to just the Blue Wire?The Purple and Navy Blue that went into the hole next to plugged are not used trim all off plug.
[Yellow +Orange{Step 4}] to just the Yellow wire.
Brown to Brown?Black to Black?Red to Red6. Check your work: Wires not connected that lead to front of computer should be: Grey, Orange, Purple, and Navy.7. Use electrical tape to cover exposed splices area on each splice. Make sure tight at least 2 rotations.8. Use electrical tape to wrap all wires together and tightly.9. Plug the newly rewired plug into your SB Card.0. DONE.

Blu-ray with separate 4-pin and 39-pin connector on a new Mac Pro ?

I have a 2007 blu-ray burner I am trying to install as the 2nd drive in my new 12-core Mac Pro. But how to you connect it (it has separate 4-pin power and 39-pin connector) ? Any feedback would sure be appreciated.

The drive is PATA. Older Mac Pros uses PATA optical drives but newer Mac Pros use SATA. There are adapters
<http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_bridge.html>
The adapter was intended for hard drives but should also work with optical drives. You may want to check with Sonnet before buying to see if it works with Blu-ray drives

100-pin Connector Required when Building Custom Cable for PCI-6031E

Four 100-pin connectors are required to make custom cables to connect the PCI-6031E. Where can I get this connector?

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply. The ringing (noise if you like, but it is definetly being coupled to the output signal from the source) is occuring during both the logic low and logic high periods of the output. I agree, this is still within the TTL noise margins, but is staying within the margins the only important thing? - e.g. what happens multiple devices are clocked using the same output pulse - the pulse shape is degraded slightly due to cabling and input capacitance etc, and now, because of the additional ringing, the logic thresholds are being crossed when they shouldn't be. If you consider that the source signal is 5Vpp and the induced ringing is 0.4Vpp then the rejection ratio would be 20*log10(0.4/5) = -22dB, not very good. The situation is not as bad when one of the internal timebases is used as the source but this particular application requires an external one. So, I'm looking for ways to reduce the ringing if you're aware of any. One possibility might be to reduce the cable length - I'm using the 2m cable so maybe you could try the 1m cable for me and see if things improve.

A88XI AC JPWR2 - power supply has no 4 pin connector

I am building a system with an AX88I AC and have just noticed that my power supply does not have a 4 pin connector that fits the JPWR2 plug. Is JPWR2 optional, perhaps (I am not using the PCI slot) or do I have to get an adapter or a different power supply?
[later] OK, forget it. I just found that there is an 8 pin connector that splits into two four pin connectors. I would delete this post if there was a delete button.

Correct. Most modern power supplies split into 2x4 pins
Looking at the manual of products you have(PSU+motherboard in this case), does not hurt, just so you know

NX6800GT-T2D256E, Power supply and 6-pin connector

My NX6800GT-T2D256E came with a power adapter: 2x 4-pin Molex to a 6-pin connector that goes into the VGA-Card.
I've noticed that I have an identical 6-pin connector directly on my power supply (a Cieftec GPS-400AA-101A)
According to the power supply's manual, it is a PCI power connector, seemingly for powering PCI-express VGA cards.
Of course I want to use that connector, as it seems to be the ideal way of powering the card, but first I compared the pin configuration to make sure it is the same thing - and found a slight difference.
On the Adapter supplied with the card, 1 of the pins is empty (not connected) while on the connector from my power supply it is connected to +12V
Basically the pin configuration looks like this:
1 4
2 5
3 6
On the adapter supplied with the card they are:
1: +12V
2: NOT CONNECTED
3: +12V
4: Ground
5: Ground
6: Ground
On the power supply they are:
1: +12V
2: +12V
3: +12V
4: Ground
5: Ground
6: Ground
Can I safely use the connector from my power supply or could the additional +12V damage my VGA card?

Your PC has a standard ATX power supply and physical sizes will vary slightly. You might want to measure the dimensions of your power supply. Normally the standard ATX PSU will measure 5.9" by 5.5" by 3.4". You don't want to get too far away from the dimensions of your PSU since the HP mini-tower cabinets are very tight inside. I prefer the modular model PSUs to help with excess cabling issues. www.newegg.com has many good brands. Not all PSUs are created equal. Look at the warranty period, amperage on the 12+ volt bus, specification level, i7 support, efficiency rating etc..
OCZ, Enermax, Corsair and Rosewill are all good brands as is Thermaltake.

IPhone 5 Lightning to old 30 Pin Connector with FireWire Power implementation

I've been searching the Web and specialized Shops for a Adapter or Cable-Hack Solution.
Here the Challenge:
I am using a Car Audio Connector (Becker Indianapolis 7953 + Remote Kit for iPhone).
It's connected to my iPhone 5 using a Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter.
Connection Works great, regarding to Music and iPhone Control.
Problem is the Connector is using a old implementation which is using the FireWire Pins for charging, which obviously doesn't work with iPhone 3G and later - so iPhone doesnt Charge.
I am wondering if there is a Solution like: Cut the Cable and put it together in the right Way? Or an Lightning Adapter to old 30-Pin?
I've found a old 30-Pin FireWire implementation to 30-Pin Adapter, but I don't want to use a Adapter-Adapter-Solution. :-(
Any ideas or experiences? Thanks alot!

Hi
I have the Becker Cascade with the iphone adapter.
The only solution I could find then was with the adapter. I found some info on rebuilding the iphone adapter but in essence it does the same as the firewire to usb power adapter.(I use the Scosche adapter)
So don’t worry about the adapter adapter solution regarding the firewire problem. It works great for me.
I use the iPhone 4 dock in the creditcard compartment (Audi A4), The only problem i got was that the dock does not pass thru all 30 pins. it splits out the audio to the Stereo jack. That i solved whit replacing the 30 pin connector with an angled one.
This alone makes me think twice about changing to iPhone 5. Cant se any solution regarding the cradle. I love the hidden installation in the Creditcard compartment. Just a click and i can insert my phone.
