Almost new battery won´t charge, does not work on AC

After spending a few days in Taiwan (110V) the battery of my PB G4, A1138 won´t charge any more. Power connector lights amber.
After coming back to Austria, i connected the PB for 2 days and it would charge again and worked proper. Now, 2 months later, the battery again refuses to charge, coconut battery & system profiler say that there is no AC power connector & battery is not charging. It won´t power up with AC connected. I did the PMU reset and PRAM reset - no effect.
The battery is an original Apple replacement and has only 40 loading cycles. i´ve measured the voltage at the battery connector in the battery slot (3V & 6V depending on the pins), so the charger provides voltage.
Can anybody tell, if the DC-in board is faulty or if it´s the logic board or something else?
I´m thankfull for any advice!

It's fairly common for the pre-MacSafe power connectors on the computer to loosen due to stress. The points where the barrel-shaped chrome connector assemble is soldered (or flowed) to the logic board lose contact and you get intermittent charing at best.
If you connect to A/C adaptor and gently wiggle it up and down, can y ousee charging start again/ "Up" is the position where the contact should again meet.
My 1Ghz 17" MBP will not start on A/C alone until the battery has a little charge. I don't know it's the dead internal backup battery (common) of something else that causes two good 65W power supplies to report in Profiler as 45W.

I bought a new iphone in miami that does not work, how can i get it repaired by apple?

I live in Argentina. I bought a new iphone 3gs unlocked on January 20th, 2012, in Aventura Mall in Miami, Florida. I arrived in Buenos Aires last Saturday, 28th, turned it on, and it never worked. It shuts down, and freezes for long periods of time, strange things appear on the screen, basically, it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
I want to give it back, and get my money back, but there's no contact mail, or telephone I can call from Argentina. There are only 1-800 telephone numbers which I cannot use from here. Also, there is no official Apple Store or Repair Centre here in Buenos Aires.
I call to the Aventura Apple Store and a machine answers me, and does not re-direct my call to a repair centre or support centre.
I find no way to contact Apple regarding my problem. It seems I could only contact them if I lived in USA.
I can't believe I have bought an Apple product that does not work, and that I cannot claim to anybody. I have no way of asking for a replacement.
Thanks for your help.

This is the way of Apple all over the world, Their toll free telephone numbers for AppleCare support are all country specific. Apple does not provide an international support number anywhere.

When I restart, previous tabs & websites open. I have selected open in new page in options this does not work

When I start my computer and open Firefox, all the tabs from the previous session open. For now, I have to return each session to my home page (Google) prior to closing to prevent this from occuring. I have selected "When Firefox starts show my home page" this does not work. I have de selected and then reselected this option numerous times and it has now become a very big annoyance. I am about to uninstall Mozilla if this cant be rectified.

BB Curve 8310 Home Charger Does not work, but Car charger charges Phone.

Help !!! Home charger does not charge phone. But Car charger does. But Home charger works with another curve.
What can be wrong with the phone?

Oddly, it could be the device USB going bad.
Can you connect your Curve to your USB > PC and see the Curve connected in Desktop Manager?
If so, do a complete back up of the device -- just in case it is the USB port ON the device going bad. It happens.

HT4623 i can no longer access Safari. It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it still does not work. I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and it has Safari. My iphone4 does not. What is the problem?

I can no longer access Safari. It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it (Safari) still does not work. I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and Safari is operable. However, Safari on my iphone is not. What is the problem?

That is the way it works. It designed to do that.
In addition to everything else you have to this other person's computer you would have to move your complete iTunes library over also. Only then will it recognize youriTouch.

New Lightroom 4 mail feature does not work with Hotmail

Hi,
I have tested the new mail feature today. Unfortunatelly, it does not work well with my hotmail account.
The mail is send by lightroom and received in my hotmail mailbox, but the photo is not visible. The tekst in the messages is readable, but instead of the downloaded photoI only see a red cross.
Anyone an idea what the reason is ?
thanks
Rudy

Hi Stone Pan,
Thanks for answering.
I do not see any error message and the received mail contains a correct text message, only the picture is not visible in the mail. I tried to send a Photo with the email preset on small and normal but without success.
Kind regards,
Rudy
Edit :
I have tried to send a photo to the hotmail email adress of a friend and it works, text and photo are visible. Conclusion is that the reason for not showing the photo is not a Lightroom 4 problem. The reason should be something on my own computer, any suggestions are welcome.

Satellite M45-S165 New Battery won't charge past 25%

Hello,
This is a Satellite M45-S165 running Windows XP SP2.
I just put in a new battery from Technuity sold at Circuit City. Followed the instructions and let it charge for 10 hours before using it. The laptop was turned off while charging.
Turned on the laptop and Toshiba Power Saver said that the battery was only charged to 25%. It just won't let it charge any more than that.
I shut down TPS from the task manager and opened the Windows power meter on the control panel. After running on just the battery for a while I tried to recharge it. But the windows power meter is showing that the battery is charging, but that is stuck at 3%.
The battery is new, so any idea about what is keeping it from charging completely?
Thanks.

Hello
At first I must say that you have done everything correctly and this issue is probably not because of the battery (I hope you bought the right one). The question is is there some problem with power supply electronic.
You must understand that it is not easy to offer simply explanation to such issues and to find out what is wrong there it is necessary to run diagnostics program and check power supply electronic functionality.
This can be done by authorized service provider only. So you must make decision what to do. Make a call and ask them what can be the reason for this. Inform you what can be done with it. What else you can do?

Please Help! My battery won't charge. Not sure if this is my battery or the charger causing the problem.

I recently came down to Costa Rica to do some work abroad and last week my battery display showed it wouldn't charge higher than 15%. I've kept the charger plugged in to avoid a total shut down and everytime I do unplug I lose power. I'm not sure if this is my battery or the charger that is faulty. I'm now at 8% power and freaking out as I have work to do and I'm nowhere near an apple store or certified repair shop. I can keep my charger plugged in but must find a solution. A new charger or battery can possibly be brought to me from San Jose but I must know asap to request the product.
Any help is SOOO greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.
Some Details on my computer...

Hi Riyanna. Do you have the mag safe power cord with you and will it turn on with it? With it plugged in you should be able to go to the top right screen menu and click on battery. It should say power source power adapter. It maybe grayed out , but that is ok. That means your power adapter is working. Then it will not hurt to run the SMC reset or pram reset. The other thing is if you are using an Aplle power supply there will be a green light showing on it.

Battery Icon During Charging Does Not Show The Lightning Bolt?

How can i fix my iphone 4? the little battery icon in the top right does not show the 'lightning bolt' while charging. Instead, it displays a power plug. If i unplug and reinsert the charging cable the icon briefly changed back into the lightning bolt but then switches back to the plug. Why is this?

Does the iPhone show that it is charging, that is, does the percent charge increase? If not it could indicate a faulty charger or connecting cable. Can you try a different charger and cable to see what that does?
Have you tried a power off/on and a reset to see if those help?

New battery won't charge

Hi, using an alu pbook 1.67 15"
A week or so back I thought my power cable had died. The indicator light stopped coming on. Just before buying a new one, I tried it again and it did start working again, although the battery no longer charged. As it was one of the duff recall replacement batteries I decided to buy a new one (think I've had it too long to complain to apple about bad recall). I inserted the new battery this morning (which turned out not to be a genuine one - thanks ebay seller) and my pbook worked fine off just battery poewr for a few hours.
When it died, I plugged the cable in but this new battery will not charge - status is 0% "battery is not charging". I've reset pram and pmu but still problem exists.
Pbook runs fine on battery alone - could it be that the cable is the cause of the problem - i.e. it works well enough to power but not well enough to charge the battery?

Hi Bgreg, many thanks for your response. I've just tried a different, known to be working adapter and still no charge.
There is prob a good 5mm of play in the power plug at the dc-in socket, so may well be the source of the prob (with this new cable the amber charge light stays constant while wiggling, my old charger flashed dark orange/amber).
I'll get to an apple shop and ask to try a working battery (do they charge for quick favours?) then will look into the dc-in card.
Thanks again,
M
