Does applecare cover Macbook Pro charger?

Charger does not consistently charge. I have to move wire around to get perfect position for it to charge my MacBook Pro. Does applecare cover chargers?

Hi alanis,
Is it the charger that came with the MacBook Pro? If so, then it is covered...

  • Does Applecare cover Macbook adapter accidents??

    The part of my Macbook adapter that plugs into the computer fell into a cup of water (fail, I know). As a result, the adapter tip is fried I need a new one and before I start searching for cheaper ones on Amazon or eBay, I need to know: Does Applecare cover Macbook adapter accidents?? I've had my Macbook for less than three years and so I should still be covered.
    Applecare says it covers adapters, but I'm not sure about accidents. Should I go to the Genius bar and say it's an accident? I can't lie about the way the tip of the adapter is certainly fried. This is a different kind of accident. Someone, please help.

    Does Applecare cover Macbook adapter accidents?
    AppleCare doesn't cover accidental damage. Homeowner's insurance, a credit card, or third-party insurance might.

  • Does Applecare cover MacBook and MacBook Pro power cords/bricks?

    I've replaced several over the years.  They seem to be the weak link in these laptops.  My Applecare is still in effect on the latest Pro.  Has anyone dealt with Applecare on this issue? Specifically, in  the area behind the small mag-safe plug a wire(s) seems to have broken connection. Thanks.

    The original adapter that came with the machine for which you bought AppleCare was covered. If you had the first one replaced under AppleCare, the subsequent ones might also be covered, but only as long as you continued to apply to AppleCare to cover them. If you just went and bought them, they're covered only by their own warranties.
    Damage of the kind you describe is caused by user abuse: disconnecting the plug by pulling on the cord (accidentally or deliberately), or bending the cord too sharply right behind the plug. If neither of those things happens, the cord won't fray and break there.

  • Does applecare cover ssd?

    Hi there.
    I just bought macbook pro top of the range for my vmware labs. These are quite intensive in terms of IOs and SSD wearing.
    So the first question is Does apple's warranty cover wearing of SSD drive?
    the second question - Does AppleCare for Macbook Pro cover wearing of SSD drive?
    I want to make sure I can run my labs as long as I need them without counting P/E cycles
    Thank you.

    another thing I found in the applecare contract (http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/applecare/appmacapacen.html) under "Not covered section":
    (vi) Consumable parts, such as batteries, except in respect of battery coverage under APP for iPod or unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials and workmanship;
    (viii) Defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to normal aging of the product.
    I am afraid this mean SSD wear and tear isn't covered by Apple care.
    Has anyone had any experience with SSD replacement/fix due to wearing?

  • Does keeping a macbook pro plugged in even when fully charged damage the battery in any way?

    Does keeping a macbook pro plugged in even when fully charged damage the battery?

    no it will not, your battery stops charging when it reaches 100%.  you can verify this if you'd like to through system report - power.
    once in a while however, it's best to use it under it's own power and charge it back up once it's down to 75% to keep the battery in optimal condition.

  • My macbook pro charger does not work!! I have extended warranty/Guarantee from the store, do they exchange or give me a new one?

    Hi,
    There is a problem with my MacBook Pro Charger. It was working for a few months, but then it just doesnt work. My laptop doesnt charge!!
    I have an extended guarantee from the store, i got my laptop, does it apply Warrantee/Guarantee? There is no problem with my laptop, cause it charges all fine with my wife's charger!
    Thanks

    In as much as we here are not the store the best thing to do is bring it back and have them give you a new one. You should be most certainly covered under warranty. (As long as your dog didn't eat it).

  • Macbook pro charger isn't working

    my macbook pro charger been not working these few days.i've got no idea what to do with it.i've been using this mac for around 2 years so i don't know if it's under guarantee..how much does it cost me to repair the charger ? or should i just buy a new one ?

    If you have bought AppleCare Extended Warranty, MBP is in warranty for 3years
    from the date of purchase.
    Best thing to do, is to take the MBP to the Apple store for evaluation and possible repair / replacement.
    Try Reset SMC.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • MacBook Pro Charger - Intermittantly Stops Working

    Hi All,
    I have had my macbook pro now for just over a year and unlucky for me im 20 days out of my 1 year warrenty and now not entitle to upgrade to apple care because of this when i phoned techincal support
    The macbook pro charger is working intermittantly so it isnt completely dead.
    if i wiggle it around or sit the cables just right it will work but it isnt working 1005 off the time like it used to.
    I have a 2010 macbook pro with the L shape charger. I have manager to get another old style T shape charger off my friend which works perfectly with my macbook pro but will this harm my battery life because im using an "older" charger? but its brand new. also do you think its worth going into my local apple store in milton keynes to see if they can help me at all? as my gripe is you pay £1000 for a laptop and one year on the charger brakes. And i do look after my equipment. Its not like i throw it about or mistreat it.
    I think it could of happened early if i used it more.
    Is this a common fault?
    Thanks
    Daniel

  • Does the newest macbook pro with retina display have an ethernet connection port?

    I am looking at getting a computer for college and am trying to decide between the newest version of the macbook pro and the one with the cd/dvd drive in it and the way i get internet connection in my dorm room is going to be by an ethernet cable so i am trying to cover everything. Thanks for all of the help!

    does the newest macbook pro with retina display have an ethernet connection port?
    No.

    But you can get a Thunderbolt to Ethernet connector.

  • Macbook pro charger wont work AT ALL!

    Words cannot even explain how furious I am. My 9 month old MacBook Pro charger does not work, all of a sudden!
    There is no damage to the charger at all and my laptop is in great condition. I need a solution and fast because this laptop has my whole life on it which leaves me irritated seeming i need it for my studies!! I don't know what to do, its 4am in the morning in australia and my laptop is completely dead! HELP!!!!!

    Take your computer and power adapter to the Apple Store when it opens in the morning and they will take care of it.
    This problem is often caused by winding the DC (computer-end) of the cord directly around the "ears" on the body of the power adapter. The "approved method" is to make a one to two inch (25-50mm) loop in the air, THEN begin winding the cord.
    I bought my wife an aftermarket car-charger for her MacBook. In addition to being able to use the computer for a while in the car, now we have a backup. If the regular charger dies, we can recharge the 'Book off the car.

  • Macbook pro charger- burning out.  surveyish?

    i have already swapped my macbook pro charger out twice, as after 2 months they tend to stop working, and the problem is the little place where the wire meets the magnetic connector. i know that bending it ruins its durability and life, so i tried to not do that. i thought i did it pretty successfully, until my first charger burnt out after it got extremely hot. it would stop charging for periods at a time, and there were places in the wire, specifically where it met the power brick and connector, where you could see right to the copper/ whatever the **** material it is because it got so hot that it melted the plastic. the apple store has replaced it twice, and i am about to go in for the 3RD charger. does anyone have a recommendation on something that would hold the wire still inbetween the connector and full wire? and who else has had this problem? there isnt a problem with the mbp, its just the connectors suck as5 and blow out.

    Ditto over here.
    My connector-cable junction has always been slightly twisted. It's a more complex curve than just a twist, but wasn't perfect from the factory for sure.
    The plastic jacket has now just torn this week and there's braided shielding and lots of unsavory bits showing.
    Oh, and it started to singe a cushion it was touching. It was starting to burn.
    Very antithetical to the "It just works" vibe.
    "It just burns" is more like it. =:o
    Seems like this particular Achilles heel didn't get much field testing before it was unleashed.
    Wasn't the Mag-Safe connector supposed to put an end to the whole problem of a $3,000 laptop being felled by a $1.79 connector/jacket on the AC adapter?
    I'm on batteries four and five as of this writing, so the topic of power management and the MBP is getting to be a rather sore subject.
    Will try to swap it out at work or might have to belly up to the Genius Bar.

    My macbook pro charger blink green than orange

    This is not unusual. Does the light change to and stay green after the battery is fully charged? If it does the charger and the battery are working as they should be.

  • Keep Macbook Pro Charged or Use Battery?

    I'm confused on whether or not to keep my Macbook Pro charged or use the battery from 100% until it reaches 0% and charge it again. I've read other posts and websites and they say I should keep it charged. I know you have to calibrate it, but I'm still confused on how the battery usage works. I currently have 63 loadcycles.

    "For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her notebook on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge. This keeps the battery juices flowing. If on the other hand, you use a desktop computer at work, and save a notebook for infrequent travel, Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month. "
