Can new batteries & power adapters do more damage??

I am currently going through a repair of the logic board on my g3 ibook 600mhz.
I was just curious to see if it buying replacement power adapters & batteries can maybe do damage?
My ibook was working perfectly up until I had bought a new power adapter & then a battery.
Everything was fine up until about a week later the logic board failed, I do also remember the underneath being very hot.
Could this be possible?

No.

    Since I have upgraded from 7.1 then the power consumption increased slightly unbelievable. I have new batteries in my iphone 5 and when I had at ios 7 so was consumption that allows the battery envelope in two days and with ios 7.1 so is it only 12 hours before I need to recharge the battery.

  • TS3048 My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I've put new batteries in the mouse and the green light is blinking but it just won't connect!!! I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc!!! Pls help

    My keyboard will connect wirelessly but my mouse will not. I have tried many times, put new batteries in etc. The Bluetooth appears to be on (as the wireless keyboard is working). I don't have a 'wired' mouse so I can't get into preferences etc. Is the mouse dead perhaps? The green light is flickering so it should be ok???
    Thank you for your help

    From what you say I would suggest the batteries are not connecting properly.
    First, thoroughly clean all contacts, both inside the mouse and the contact points of the batteries.  Use an alcohol based cleaner (whisky will do, hic!)  dampen (not wet) cotton buds for cleaning.
    Then check to see if they fit firmly.   If you can shake your mouse and hear things are loose, that will be the batteries.   Check the make.   Apple and Duracell, in that order, are the best batteries.   Where slight undersizing has been reported they are with other than the foregoing.
    You can resolve the size problem with appropriate packing but that will always be a makeshift solution.  After, reassemble, turn on the mouse and with luck, away you go. 
    Hopefully this will solve your problem but in any case let us know how you get on.

    This sounds different than with my IOS devices, since I am able to see the photos even with a connection to the Internet.
    Do you mean without a connection to the internet? With a connection it's logical you would be able to see the PS.
    The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    Can photos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
    Yes. Once photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared photo stream can download and keep the photos permanently.
    On a device using iOS 6 or later, you can save photos to the Camera Roll. On a Mac, using iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4, you can save photos from the shared stream to your local Photo Library or any other location on your Mac. On a Windows PC, you can copy photos from a shared photo stream to any folder. On the web, photos can be downloaded directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo.
    This tells me that the image files are not on the HD unless the subscriber chooses to download them.

  • Can I use other Apple USB Power Adapters with iPad

    I am looking for a spare  Apple Power Adapter to charge my iPad.  I have an iPad (3rd Generation), which came with a 10W USB Power Adapter, Model A1357, output 5.1V. 2.4A USB Power Adapter.  I have two other Apple Power Adapters 1) iPod Power Adapter, Model A1070, output 13V, .62A Firewire Power Adapter, 2) USB Power Adapter, Model A 1265, Output 5V, 1A,and  3) USB Car Adapter,   Can either of the latter three Power Adapters be used to charge my iPad

    Technically, yes, but they will trigger the 'not charging' because they're not giving out the 10W that your device wants. And charging with them will take significantly longer than the ipad charger.
    I'd only use them as a 'shucks, left my iPad charger at home and I'm in a pinch' situation.
    Your best bet would be to either get another iPad charger, or if you're trying to use one adapter for several devices, use the iPad one for the rest of your stuff.

    You can use the adaptor that came with your device. They work in the UK. You will need a wall outlet plug adaptor, however. You can buy them at most AAA travel outlets, computer stores, or buy Apple's World Travel Kit.

  • How can I pop my 5c into its backing without causing any more damage?

    I think my phone must have fallen because now there's a gap in the corner between the screen and backing, how can I pop my 5c into its backing without causing any more damage? Everything works fine ... its now just super duper fragile ... and open.
    I have a warranty but little spare time and much need for the phone.

    I figured it out by pressing the home button and the off button but when i turn my phone on again it's not restored. And when i try to restore it with iTunes it has to update but i can't update my phone because it's jailbreaked but if i can't update it, it won't restore the phone.

  • HT4341 which of the power adapters can i use in Peru, South America?

    Hello:
    I'll be travelling down to Peru next month and I need to know which of the power adapters I can use there to charge my laptop. The electricity is 220v in Peru and not 110v like the U.S.

    Most Mac equipment these days adapts to 110 Volt 208 Volt or 220 Volt power, 50 or 60 Hz, automatically. For a MacBook, you would need a power cord that ends in the local plug or an adapter from local plug to US standard "parallel two prong, U-ground".
    For advice on specific equipment, you would need to post the model, and Readers will try to look it up for you.

  • If my ipod's dead can we put in new batteries or is that impossible?

    ok...i need to now something. can we put in new batteries into our ipods. because mine died like two days ago and i've tried everything to get it to work again and it's really annoying me.

    Sure. Do an internet search as there are lots of companies selling iPod batteries. Most sell a service where you send in the iPod and they send it back with a new battery. But there are some places where you can buy the battery if you want to do it yourself.
