Apple TV 2rd Generation Power Supply broken

System:
Apple TV 2rd Generation
Running IOS6
No warranty
Problem:
I updatet my AppleTV2 from IOS 5.1.1(5.0.2) to IOS6 via iTunes. After that my ATV wont boot. LED is only shine when I connect it via USB to my MacBookPro. When I put power to it, nothing happens. I think my power supply is broken.
Can I fix this problem? Is there a possibility to fix it again(replacing power supply). Where can I get this?
How much would it cost when I send it to Apple?
Thanks a lot
Best regards
Christian

Have you tried restoring it to official shipping version via itunes?
The PSU is internal to the black AppleTVs - I would try a different figure 8 terminated power cable if you have one in case the fuse in teh plug has gone.
PSU is not user replaceable.

Apple Hardware Test & My Power Supply

I was wondering if the Apple Hardware Test does any check on the Power Supply.
I was planning on replacing mine on a Mac Pro (Early 2008). I have been having a constant freeze from wake issue, and the system refuses to power on from a cold start unless I let it rest unplugged for 24-48hrs.

Assuming it is/was getting good power and there aren't any problems with power itself, it sure sounds like SMC or logicboard or something.
Can't hurt to do an extended test.
The wake from sleep freeze type issue for 2008s early on was suppose to be fixed and resolved by an EFI firmware update last year (Apr/May time frame?).
I'd take it in.
Sometimes swapping parts is all that can be done to see if a component is at fault.

Power Supply broken

Hi folks.
My macbook is now about 1.5 years old.
Beside the fact, that the screen slowly starts to crack at the hinges, my Power Supply Unit is now broke.
It just doesn't charge the battery anymore. Can't be the battery itself and with another Power Supply it works.
I'm VERY, VERY disappointed right now.
Which possibilities do I have right now?
Will Apple give me a new one for free?
What to do?
I need the macbook for university and I don't have the money to buy a new one.
Best Regards

You are entirely welcome.
You would need to ask Apple as to whether this is goodwill about such a case. People who answer questions here are just other users like yourself. You can contact them via expresslane.apple.com or use their phone number in Austria - (43) 0810 300 427*

I get the starting tone, but no fans, Apple logo, etc. Power Supply?

Fans never turn on. Mobo is dark, no status LED's that I can see. If I pull the A.C. and reapply, I hear a relay pull in, then drop out, then pull in again and drop out. Nothing else happens. Power supply? Any thing else to check?

Trouble with web based tech article, it has changed multiple times.

It was there, believe or not. I also don't agree with the current article. And it doesn't say "Mac Pro 2009 and later" OR (would be helpful), link back to the pre-April 2011 article.
On 1,1, 2,1 there was an SMC RESET button you could physically access and that was under drive bay #4 / PCI slot #4.
To me this 15 second unplug sounds like voodoo too.

1st Gen iMac Power Supply Issue

I just got my iMac G5 back from Apple after having the power supply and logic board replaced for the second time in two years.
It is apparently a fairly common problem with the first generation iMac G5s. I've basically been told it's a problem with no real solution and that they'll fix it for free (for the first three years). It's great that I'm within the three years, but if it happens again after October, I'm likely going to have to foot the bill to get it repaired.
Does anyone have any more detailed info on this issue (other than Apple's Repair Extension doc)? Would turning off the computer each night prolong the life of those parts? Would turning it on/off everyday reduce the life of those parts?
Any thoughts/comments?
Thnx...CN

Just to add to BB's comments, I doubt that leaving the computer on will have any benefit at all for you in terms of longevity. If you have problems with faulty capacitors , and the like, in fact it will probably make the issue worse rather than better (though I doubt this will be a problem for you if your logic board was replaced after about April 2005). Doing so will probably also add a little extra wear to the bearings of your HD (unless you have it set to spin down when not needed) , and will cost you a little more (but not a whole lot - though when we all leave them running the environmental costs continue to mount) in electricity over time.
You should probably also shut down every so often anyway - maybe once a week or so, to help clear some potential memory issues that can persist with some applications even under OSX, and you should certainly shut down at and start up again at any time when you notice slowdowns, program "hangs" or other problems.

IMAC (Early 2006 20-inch) Power Supply, Logic Board

Has anyone had problems with the new 20inch iMac Intel Processor computer? Purchased the new iMac and in a month the compute was wouldn’t startup. Repair was diagnosed as Power Supply, Logic Board. Apple store switched out a new iMac computer after 2 weeks trying to get parts. The new iMac was plugged in a power strip protector. Now 2 weeks later the new computer is dead and Apple store is saying Power Supply and Logic Board is bad. I am not getting any power surges at the office and it is on a new power strip. Has anyone else had problems with the new iMac?

I got the same problem... I buyed it 2 days ago, plugged it yesterday and it worked. Today, I unplugged it to arrange all my connections(tv out, optical sound, printer, etc...) and it replugged it and pressed the power button and then... nothing... I was so frustrated... I switched to mac 2 month ago and I seem to keep having problems
Ne ways, I went to an apple store and I'm waiting for the diagnosis I'll post more news when I get some!
Ian
ps I'd like to add that the imac was plugged on a powerbar with surge protection.

Power Supply Hum

I have a new iMac G5 that has a high pitched-medium volume hum (loud enough to hear from another room). The Apple servicer replaced the power supply and the hum still occurs.
The problem seems to be that the hum only happens in my house, not in the shop when I was there for the re-test.
I tried plugging the mac into different parts of the house, with and without the surge strip, with and without accessories (printer, etc.).
Any ideas about how to filter, or solve?

Then there may be some electrical issue in your home which needs looking at by an electrician. The fact it is unique to your home and not your computer, seems to say the computer is drawing just enough power that your home electricity is doing odd things whenever your computer is on. I had a hum come from several of my outlets, and learned that because my home wiring was done by the previous owner and not an electrician, some of the wiring was beginning to have some of its own arcing. Sometimes just leaving a lamp plugged in and not turned on would cause the hum to start.

Unibody adapter can transfer power supply neutral voltage

I hope this topic has not been mentioned before.
I have been using my unibody with the supplied and noticed that in some countries I get a tingle when I touch the computer. This is because the supply neutral carries some voltage. Even 5 volts (on a 240V) supply can cause a tingle when the body is touched. By the way, this is not a problem with UK power supplies.
I am considering purchasing an isolating transformer. Has anyone else come across the problem?
I overcome it by using the computer only when on batteries. However, I do worry if a power supply neutral is not properly earthed you could get a shock from the unibody.
I wonder of apple has an alternative power supply with an isolating transformer, other that the switching power supply as supplied.
Unfortunately this problem is specific to metal bodies only.

Hello HantuUK, and welcome to the boards.
AS long as you use the power adaptor with the three prong earthed cord rather than the two prong duckhead adaptor the problem does not occur unless the power source that you are plugging into is improperly earthed.
Poor earthing can, of course, be an issue in some countries, especially in remote areas and older buildings.
I've run into the issue myself in some remote Australian areas.
There have been quite a few threads about it over the years, often with strong debate about the actual cause. The problem has been around for a long time. I first ran into it with my old aluminium Powerbook 867MHz 12".

Power Supply / Support

Currently my powermac G5 is at the service department due to a failed power supply. The machine is no more than 2 months old and now I am waiting for Apple to get their power supply in stock so I can get my machine back up and running.
I'd have to say this is the worst experience I've ever had with Computer support. I've dealt with Dell, IBM, Compaq and they are all very supporative and quick regarding the repair of my machine.
The lady I spoke with intially when I first had the problem said had me try a bunch of crap that I had already done but insisted I try. When I told her I think it is a hardware failure she continued to make me try some tests. I repeated that I believed it was a hardware failure and she went on to say that there was nothing she could do and I needed to contact an authorized service provider and hung up.
Now I'm waiting for this power supply to come in, with no accurate date of arrival (still says 2/2 ship date) and my service provider is no help either. This machine is for a business and I am very lucky that we have an extra power mac to do work on otherwise we would be SOL. I would expect when purchasing apple care they have some sort of next day service as any other large PC manufacturere does.
I personally own a 15" PB but have to say Apple's customer service is the pits.

s... "Well Mr. so & so,
looks like we have to special order a screwdriver to
be able to remove the processers, to get to the power
supply, that we hope have in the next few days and
then we can get this fixed"
The processor screws strip easy too. Mine had to be replaced. Luckily, the independent Apple dealer I went to had everything in stock and had me going the same day I took it in.

Apple TV 160GB 1st Generation Failed Power Supply

Hi,
Anyone know where I can buy a replacement Delta switching power supply model ADP-36BF (Output 5v 7.2A) for my failed one in my Apple TV 160GB Generation 1 ?
I wouldn't suppose Apple woud repair it for less than the cost of a new ATV Black :-(

it's a universal device, so will work anywhere.
the only thing you will need to change is the power cable/plug.

Where can I find a power supply for 2nd - 5th Generation Airport Extreme?

I have an Airport Extreme that needs a power supply and cord. Where can I purchase one? Is this something Apple sells separately? Or, if someone could supply the part numbef for their power supply that could aid in my search, that would be great. I have a 4th generation AirPort Extreme that needs one. Thanks!

Broken power supply: is there an easy fix?

Somehow when I plugged my iPod into a (usually reliable) AC adapter at work, it horrendously bent the pins inside the power supply. Now I can't plug it in at all - and it's dead, which is heartbreaking. Perhaps I'm a bit of a fool, but I thought all iPod adapters would fit my iPod (the adapter at work had always worked before). Why did this happen?
Anyway, is there a way that I can fix this cheaply? The curt, unfriendly guy at the Apple Store told me it would cost over $100 (He was a jerk! Come on, Apple Store, upgrade your staff.). Is there a home-repair solution? Or contractors who do this sort of repair for a more reasonable price and with a nicer attitude?

No, I think I have damaged the docking port on my iPod. Or "dock connector". The pins (or whatever they're called) are bent and possibly broken. Someone said to me I could just buy a broken iPod (like with a cracked screen) and use it for parts - does anyone know if that's possible, or know of any resources for that sort of thing?
Thanks for replying, by that way.

IMac broken, Power Supply replacement?

My 13 months iMac G5 20" 2GHz shut down all the time.. mostly within 10 minutes after booting.
A friend of mine had the same problem 2 months ago. Apple replaced his Power Supply for free since the guaranty is 12 months.
My machine is one month past guaranty, 13 months old and therefor Apple wants $200 to fix my computer!!
As I can see my iMac ain't covered by the iMac Repair & Extentionprogram since mine is a 2GHz.. My seriealnumber starts with W8519XXXXXX..
Does W8435xxxxxx - W8522xxxxxx mean that all serialnumbers between these two are convered by this program?
http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
How can Apple charge me $200 for a obious production fault?!
iMac G5, 2GHz, 20" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

All serial numbers within the numbers listed should be covered, and your number seems to fall in that category. However, if yours is not a Rev A , Apple may feel that your problem is not the one they are dealing with. They do specifically state:
"Some second generation iMac G5 computers have serial numbers that fall within the upper band of the ranges listed below. Only first generation iMac G5 computers are affected by this program."
I would call them again and try, politely, to point out that not only did your warranty just expire, but that your serial number is among the affected ones and your problem is one of the ones the extension program addresses.
Good luck,
Miriam

Fixed broken power supply plug

Hi and thanks to everyone for all the info I have picked off this site.
I have read from quite a few people that they have had problems with the computer side plugs of the power adapter. My first adapter was replaced by apple when it gave up the goast. Unfortunately the replacement adapter started to show signs of impending death. Not being an expert fixer upper, but being aggressively cheap, I timed my moment perfectly. I waited until I really had to work the cord to get power, called the local apple shop and made sure they had a power adapter in stock.... then got out the knife!
Using a utility knife and a small screw driver, you can seperate the plug jacket from the meat of the plug. I then cut open the plastic packing around the cord, and unsoldered the wires connected to the plug. I cut back the wires to before the short, rethread the wires through a plastic anchor that was lodged in the packing, put that back in the cut packing and resoldered the wires to the plug. One of the wires was actually a sheathing that was wrapped around the second wire.
After putting it back together, I put some white heat shrink wrap over the plug and melted it on for support. Knowing where these supplies tend to break, I am quite confident that the shrink wrap will really protect the pluc from future breaks. Being white, it does not look like a fix!
Presto... no flickering...expensive power supply.
Hope that helps!
