Computer not accepting power supply

I have a problem with my power cord that seems to be slowly getting worse. My power cord is plugged into my computer, but it is not charging the battery or supplying the computer with power. When I jiggle it around, or pull on the cord to apply pressure on the plug, it seems to work for a while, but now no matter which direction I hold it in, the power is not getting to the computer.
Note: the ring around the plug is still glowing, but that is about it.
Please help asap
Thank you

Remarkably, it probably won't be. The part that it likely failing is the DC in board. This board and cable can be replaced quite easily, and is actually cheaper than a new external power supply.
If you have a 12 inch iBook G4, this is the part you want - http://www.ifixit.com/cart/catalog/product1167_iBook_G4_12_DCInBoard.html .. they are currently out of the part for the 14 inch one, but you may be able to get one of those from pbparts.com or ebay.
Have a look at the instructions for installing it (here - http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/83.8.0.html ) and see if you feel comfortable doing it. It's pretty simple if you have the correct tools.

Hp p6000 desktop not starting power supply...?

I have a solid green light on the power supply but the fan does not come on. (nothing but the green light comes on) The start up button flickers briefly when pressed but only after being unplugged and only once until it is unplugged again. I have gone though the hp trouble shooting page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As you did not define the model number (just a reference to the HP p6000 series) I had to guess it was the stock 300W used in several of the models.
It the green light is 'on' with applied voltage, but goes out when the computers power switch is depressed, that usually means the power supply has failed. Open the case, and repeat the sequence, noting the PSU light, motherboard LED, and watch the CPU fan. Now, press the computer power switch. Did the CPU fan turn briefly? If the CPU fan quit, and the motherboard LED is now off, I again would suspect the PSU.

Battery not charging, power supply not reliable

For a week or so I've had trouble recharging the battery in my 12" iBook g4. I had to fiddle with the power supply connection so the computer would recognize that it was plugged in, and the power icon in the top menu bar would flip randomly between running on battery, charging, and plugged in. Often I couldn't fully charge the battery, but it discharged at a normal rate.
Tonight my iBook battery abruptly dropped to reading either 1% or 0%. I tried connecting my usual power supply, which didn't register at all. I tried another power supply and got a few seconds of operation before the computer went to sleep again. So long as it's plugged in it does the same thing whether the battery is in or out.
I'm not sure whether this is a battery problem or a more basic computer problem--the logic board? something else? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

AH, I've basically had the same problem and found a fix! It is most likely a DC-Inboard issue with your iBook as my iBook would boot from the AC Adapter and if it did it would last a mere 20 seconds. The DC-Inboards are old now and die, the part is $10 on eBay, if you want to know for sure its the DC-Inoard plug in the Ac-Adapter and if it turns green you're good (It may be a other issue), it turns a yellow-ish color (Not ORANGE) then it is the DC-Inboard, the orange color can be both good or bad. The yellow-ish color is due to the DC-Inboard not being positive if it charging or not, and when this happens you can "Jiggle" the power cord to get it to boot (However it must stay on a desk and not move!) and if you're lucky you'll have enough time to back up any info you may have (Just for safety incase the DC-Inboard doesnt do the job!)
Here is a link for the DC-Inboard replacement- http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iBook+G4+12-Inch+1.33+GHz+DC-In+Board+Replacement/69 9

Faziz, welcome to the forum.
Since I don't know the model of the computer I can't review the specifications. However, if the power supply unit (PSU) fits into the computer, it will not cause any problems. The computer will only use the amount of wattage that is required to run it properly. The extra wattage will be used for peak power needs. So, it is alright to use the PSU in the computer.

Power Supply Temperatures Running Hot! Mac Pro shuts down.

Hello,
First I will give machine/hardware specs of interest:
2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (pre 2009)
8 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 (running 2 displays)
Apple RAID Card/Controller
SMC Version: 1.25f4
*venting dimensions around computer: top=18", left side=3", right side=3" and back=18".
Software of interest currently running:
OS X 10.5.8
iStat Menu
SMC Fan Control
My machine has been shutting down spontaneously and I suspect either CPU or power supply overheating. In the 5 instances this has occurred, the room was very warm (AC was not on) and I was running HandBrake with CPU at full and an iStat reading of 145 F. Ambient was 77 F and I was not reading power supply temps at the time. I figured for sure this must be a CPU overheating issue. However, just a few hours ago I had another shutdown. The room was warm again but I was not running Handbrake, but StarCraft II. I have played a lot of Starcraft II with no problems until tonight.
I decided, this time, to check the temps on my power supplies. Power supply 1 = 147 F, and #2 is at 178 F. After many hours of searching forums I have concluded that these are crazy hot temps! I immediately installed SMC Fan Control to attempt to increase the fan speeds. I was successful in increasing all fans except the power supply (stuck at 599rpm). I have now turned the AC on in the house and the Ambient is down to 70, PS #1 145 and PS #2 169. All of these temps are a result of and idle machine running a browser.
The following may or may not be an issue, however, leave no stone unturned. I currently have 12 external devices running on USB. 4 WD passport drives, 1 DVD writer, 5 WD powered drives plus the keyboard and mouse. Also, the Mac Pro is plugged into a small UPS.
In all my forum searches, I just can't seem to answer some basic questions:
1. Can an overheated power supply shut the system down?
2. What are optimal (normal) running temps for Mac Pro's? (everyone seems to have opinions, but there doesn't appear to be a technical specification anywhere).
3. I thought the fans, especially CPU fans, were supposed to kick in when the heat rises. Why are mine staying at minimal rpm's?
Finally, does it look like I need new power supplies? Fans?
This machine was put into service in March of 2008 and has done very intensive rendering for the film industry...long nights...rendering for days sometimes. It has been retired for over a year now and is used at a lesser degree.
Thanks for reading this long post! I appreciate any input you can provide!
Other iStat reading of interest:
Power Supply 1 voltage = 12.28 V
Power Supply 1 current = 26.44 A
Power Supply 1 power = 316.75 W

Also, the Mac Pro is plugged into a small UPS.
Put your peripherals on that.
Don't share the same circuit for A/C as the Mac Pro, and put the Mac on 1300VA UPS at least.
As for all those external drives.... I'd consolidate into a good SATA case or two.
And yes in summer run with 3 of the fans up around 900 rpm.

An ATX P4 power supply and a MSI-6119 motherboard. Does it work?

I am reparing my computer. (Power supply broke down)
I found a cheap ATX 350W P4 power supply.
It is intended for P4 motherboards, and has the same connectors as my old PSU, except one more: the ATX 12V connector (4 pin , 2 yellow 12V and 2 black earth), that you normally have to plug in a 4 PIN connector called JPW1.
On a PII/III board such as the MSI-6119, there is no JPW1.
Apparently the PSU doesn't start up if the ATX12V connector iis not plugged in.
How can I make it work?

Thanks for the manual.
No beep when booting without RAM. No sound at all. power supply does not start.
I did the following:
1. Disconnect PSU from everything - do not plug ATX connector, but short circuit pin 14 (green) and 15 (black) of the 20 pin ATX connector - put in external power cable. The PSU starts humming.
Apparently, when pin 14C is pulled low, the ATX PSU jumpstarts. ( see http://www.duxcw.com/faq/ps/ps4.htm ).
2. disconnect all drives ( HDD, CD, FDD ) (power supply and ATA66 cable) - plug 20 pin ATX connector in motherboard - connect power cable - no boot;
CONCLUSION 1: Pin 14 is not pulled low by the circuits of the motherboard, which it should. why?
3. connect all drives ( HDD, CD, FDD ) with power supply cables to PSU and ATA66 cable to motherboard.
PSU not connected to motherbord
short circuit green and 15 of the 20 pin ATX connector.
Power supply starts, HDD and CD however not ( FDD starts ).
CONCLUSION 2: connection of ATA66 cable disables power supply to HDD and CD/RW
4. connect only power supply cables to HDD/CD /FDD and not the ATA66 cables.
No connection of PSU with mothetboard
short circuit green and black of the ATX connector. ( So Motherboard not implicated )
- Power supply starts, HDD / CD and FDD start also.
CONCLUSION 3: my HDD etc and internal power cables are OK.
And I am no step further.

Power supply clicks twice when plugged in.

I'm new to Mac however I've been a certified PC tech for many years. I recently purchased my first Mac. It worked fine but needed to have the fans cleaned out. I removed the components and power supply just as I would have done for any PC (I was using heel straps and working on an ESD safe workbench). Upon cleaning the components I reassembled the tower (no left over pieces) and heard two clicks coming from the power supply when I plugged it in and when I unplugged it. After troubleshooting the components individually, and still hearing the two clicks I decided to remove the power supply and test it independently. When I plug in the power supply w/o being attached to the tower I still get the same two clicks (making a relay opening and closing sound) no fans or LEDs come on. Falling back on my years in the industry and common since I decided that the power supply needed to be replaced. After receiving the new (not refurbished) power supply and installing it I'm still getting the same two clicks. At this point due to frustration I break down and call the pros. I called four Mac repair facilities (three third parties and The Mac Store) with a question "is it normal for a G5 power supply that is not connected to the logic board to make a relay open and closing clicking sound" and didn't get much help. Since I'm new to Mac I'm unfamiliar with the characteristics of the hardware. I know that if I were to plug in a normal PC power supply w/o the logic board nothing would happen, but I was told by two of the Mac techs that a Mac power supply would still make the same relay noise w/o being attached to the logic board. The problem is that I have now dropped a fair amount of money in this G5 and I have nothing to show for my investment and I don't know where to go from here. If two of the Mac techs were right then I need to send the new power supply back for an exchange, or if the other two Mac techs were right I need to replace the logic board.
The specs are:
1.8GHz Duel Processors
160G Hard Drive
600W Power Supply
2G RAM
512 Video Card
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you,
Brian M

Dear Brian,
I'm sure that clicking relais sound is the normal behaviour of every G5 power supply.
Did you use the official service manual for the specified computer? If not, you can download it here (I don't know which of the two files is appropriate for your computer, but one of those certainly is).
The 512 MB video card is not the standard configuration: the maximum amount of VRAM for an Apple supplied ATI or NVidia was up to 256 MB.
Lots of success resolving the problem and regards,
Robbert

Odd power supply fault callhome emails on Cisco 2232 FEXs?

We recently enabled smtp callhome for our ucs pod a few days ago. Since then, we've received more than a dozen email bursts about power supply failures in each of the four Cisco Nexus 2232TP FEXs in our pod. In each case, we get a "Recovered" email within a minute or two, and we're not seeing power supply failure emails for any other devices within the UCS pod.
Here's a sample email burst from this morning, showing the subject lines within my email inbox:

If we were seeing this from just one fex, I'd suspect a hardware issue. If any of the other UCS devices (rackmount/blade servers, fabric interconnects, etc) reported similar issues, I'd suspect a power feed problem within the DC.
But this has me baffled. If it helps, the UCS pod is running firmware 2.0.3c
Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Paul,
It is known ( cosmetic ) issue with power supply model.
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtz84683
The above is resolved in recent version of Nexus 5K switch software. New defect to port the fix to UCSM has been submitted today
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCuc87547
It will take a while to get published on web site.
Even though they are cosmetic, I would suggest you open a TAC SR with UCSM, FEX tech support and above bug IDs so that we can track the resolution.

My unit went down hill fast from trying to boot up to only the power supply fan runs.

The power on lite is on. The DVD lite flashes then stops. The card reader lite is on. Is this the end of days for this piece of junk!!

ditwad,
I've also responded to your other post about support, and asked there for some of your specifics - contact info, system model type and serial on bottom of the unit, and your last case number. If you could send me those in a private message (little envelope in the forum), I'll try to arrange some further help.
By your post title, I get the broad strokes of the matter - it's gone from bad to worse.   In order to get more valuable help from other's in the forum, it is helpful to provide some details.
What model desktop system do you have?    What has been happening that led up to these recent events? Was anything changed or added to the system?
No video? No beeps?    You note the power supply / fan spins. How about the hard disk, can you hear it spin up?
