Does the power adapter of WRT54GC support 110V-240V?

I plan to buy this router if it supports 110V-240V. I saw one review on Amazon which says it does but I could not find the info anywhere on the Linksys website. Could any WRT54GC owner in US confirm it? Thanks.

the adpaters normally available will support 110V....to get a 240V , u will have to get a 3rd party adapter.

Is the power adapter exchange program supported?

I put in for a replacement for my compact power adapter for my iPhone 3G on September 13. It's the 27th, and it hasn't shown up.
I've gone through Apple's voicemail tree and waited twenty minutes while the customer service rep traced my order through to a DHL tracking number. DHL's trace ends at one line: "Shipment acknowledged," which I'm pretty sure means that Apple put in the order, but never turned the package over.
Apple's position (he says) is now that it's my problem, and I should take it up with DHL. DHL will be available to handle this in 12 hours, plus time of processing. If they say it's Apple's problem, I can work my way back through Apple's voicemail tree and present a case number.
Apple tells me my power adapter is too dangerous to use, but it is dragging its feet when I try to get it replaced. This doesn't make sense. I don't have a business relationship with DHL. I was not responsible for putting the package in DHL's hands. But *they're not taking ownership for solving their problem* with DHL.
Wasn't it Apple that made the adapter negligently? Didn't I do everything I had to do, to bail them out with a recall? Didn't they blow the shipment? When did that become my problem?

To follow up: I'd put my apartment number (there are about five hundred at this address) in my address information (or Apple pulled it in with the information that goes with my Apple ID), but the number didn't make it into the shipping label. Calling DHL got the apartment number added, and they will attempt delivery tomorrow.
So calling DHL was the thing to do. I even grudgingly admit that having me make the call provided the information needed to close the case.
Two residual complaints: Apple/DHL should have formatted the address label correctly. And, DHL should have registered a shipping exception, which should have gone to Apple (or me), so I could have been told of the problem two weeks ago.

Does the power adapter work with any country's voltage input

Hi,
My name is Jo, I am in South Africa and wish to purchase a 13inch MacBook Pro online. (The companies here charge ridiculous prices when buying locally - up to 500$ in addition to what Apple charges online!!)
I believe that I will receive the best support regardless of the fact that I am thousands of miles away from where I wish to purchase it, however, my concern is, is that when I purchase it, will it be compatible with our power outlets? We run on between 220Volts and 240Volts.

It will come with the standard US plug though. You will need to get a plug adaptor for it to plug into your wall outlets. The US plug has two verticle prongs or if you use the extension it has the two verticle prongs with one round one jsut above them centered.

Doesn't recognize the power adapter. Have replaced battery and PRAM.

Howdy,
I'm having a devil of a time with my Powerbook. It won't recognize a power adapter.
It won't charge my battery.
Won't run when plugged into the power adapter.
The only way it works is for me to charge my battery in my girlfriend's Powerbook and then sprint through any work I try to get done.
I've replaced the PRAM with twice. (one i bought and the other I took from my girlfriend's which I 100% know to work) It didn't make a difference.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
There's only 4 components in the charging circuit: power adapter, DC-in card, battery, and logic board. Do you know for a fact that your power adapter is working? If yes, then not running on the power adapter says either the DC-in card is bad (the card that has the jacks on the left side of the computer) or it's a logic board issue. Is the female jack where you plug the power adapter in visibly damaged, loose, or the case around the socket damaged? If the socket is wiggly loose, likely a new DC-in card is in order. Does the power adapter light up at all when you plug it in?
We had a similar, but not exact, situation recently on one of our Powerbooks, and ended up taking it to the Apple store, where they sent it to the Apple depot for repair. They replaced the logic board and put a new battery in. The Depot service returns the machine with anything needing repair, repaired. If everything is in good physical order, ie the case isn't damaged, it costs around $325, which is less than getting a new logic board put in at the store. If the case is damaged, a trip to the Apple depot costs more. A new DC-in card card + installation by Apple runs around $130, give or take. Used DC-in cards run around $75-$95 if you want to install it yourself.

Can I use my mac book pro with 120 volt and 240 volt power supplies? Does the power converter automatically switch, so I just need a different adapter plug?

I got my mac book pro in the U.S., but I will be travelling to where there is 240 volt power. Does the mag safe power adapter switch automatically, so I just need a converter plug, or do I need a transformer to convert from 240 to 120 volts? Thanks.

Hi,
I too bought my Macbook Pro in the US and I live in the UK (its so much cheaper in the US! No 20% VAT!)
The power adapter does work on UK 230v power. You can also get a three pin extension lead (like the 2 pin US one that came with the MBP) for about £3 with free delivery from Amazon UK.
Another tip, whne you are back in the UK, and you are switching from a PC to a Mac, get in touch with your local Apple Shop who run one to one free courses on how to use your MBP.
Hope This Helps!!

ZR65MC camcorder does not turn on with battery in position unless the power adapter is plugged in

Bought a ZR65MC camcorder in 2003. Enjoyed it so much, but a couple of yrs. ago, the tape compartment stopped opening. I just purchased another ZR65MC (used) on ebay in hopes that I could at least get the videos off & onto DVDs. Also, we are planning trip to Yellowstone soon, so camera/camcorder will be nice. Problem: The used one does not turn on with a fully charged battery unless the power adapter is plugged in. I assume battery is good because it turns on my older camera. I do need backup batteries in both, but have not done this yet. Please tell me I have not purchased a bad camera, maybe just doing something wrong? Would have never purchased a used camera online, but did this time. I have ordered a new battery BP-522 with wall charger. It should arrive next week. Any suggestions?

Hi Sharon72064,
If the new battery won't power the camcorder without the Compact Power Adapter, unfortunately, it's likely that an internal component has malfunctioned.

When charging and using, ipad 2 is 100% battery, does ipad use the power from the power adapter or from the battery?

I have a quention, when i am charging and using my ipad 2 at the same time, if the battery of ipad is fully 100%, does ipad use the power to work from the power adapter only or from the battery only or both? Thanks!

YOu don't have to have your receipt. Apple should have a record of how long you've had the device. If you bought it in april 2012, then your 1 year warranty against manufacturer's defects is almost up. You should find your local apple store, make an appointment and take it in.

Why does my macbook only turn on when the power adapter is plugged in?

The battery life says its at 73% and climbing but whenever I unplug my power adapter the mac automatically shuts down and if I try to turn on the macbook without my power adapter plugged in, it wont turn on. How do I make it go back to where I can turn the mac on without it being plugged in? Thank you for your help!

I would try two things the first being resetting the System Management Controller:
1) If the computer is on, turn it off.
2) Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
3) Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
4) Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
5) Press the Power button to restart the computer.
If that doesn't work I would recalibrate the battery.
To calibrate the battery:
1) Plug in the MagSafe power adapter and fully charge the MacBook or MacBook Pro battery until the light on the MagSafe connector changes to green and the Battery icon in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
2) Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for two hours or longer. You may use your computer during this time as long as the power adapter is plugged in.
3) Disconnect the power adapter with the computer on and start using it with battery power. When the battery's charge gets low, you’ll see the low battery warning dialog on the screen.
4) Continue to keep your computer turned on until it goes to sleep. Save your work and close all applications when the battery's charge gets low and before the computer goes to sleep.
5) Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer.
6) Reconnect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged. You may use your computer during this time.

Verizon Westel 327W abroad - Buzzing sound from the Power Adapter ?

So I moved to Caribbean Islands for schooling and the DSL Modem from local company here was plain 1 port one. The voltage here is 220V, so I have put a transformer and then plugged my Westel 327W into 110V and it works great.
However, I am noticing a buzzing sound from within the power adapter. The adapter is running somewhat hot since I plugged it in a few days ago. Should I be concerned about this buzzing sound or is it just that its sitting on my desktop and I am noticing it now ? Its loud enough to be heard in a completely quite small room....
Thanks

Hi D_U, sorry to hear of your issue, sounds electrical and thereby out of my scope of support.

All of a sudden even using the power adapter its only at 57% after 8 hours

I have my powerbook 1.67ghz, its plugged in and i have a couple of adapters so i dont think it is the power adapter.
it has been plugged in and only records 57% power. What does anyone think? it fluctuates between GREEN and AMBER light on the power adapter.
On the back of the computer itself i see some green lights but i dont know what they mean.
here are some of my stats: It says its NOT charging and its plugged in

Hi, Scott.
yes i am using the 65 watt power adapter...
Not when you ran System Profiler and got the results you quoted above, you weren't — at least not if System Profiler can be believed. Set the 50W adapter aside and don't use it with the Powerbook. If your alleged 65W adapter is identified by SP as a 50W adapter, it needs to be replaced with a proper one.
If you "really never use it unplugged," that may explain why your Powerbook is misbehaving. Powerbook batteries want to be used. If you don't completely discharge and recharge your battery every two to four weeks, its charge-level calibration will become very inaccurate, and it may lose capacity faster than it should.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
If the plug on the 65W adapter fits your iBook (i.e., if it's an iBook G4 rather than a G3), test the 65W adapter to make sure it charges the iBook battery properly. (This will do neither the adapter nor the iBook any harm.) If it does, it's almost certainly not at fault. The other three components of the Powerbook's charging system are the battery, the logic board, and the DC-in/Sound card. Plug the 65W adapter into a wall socket that you know is reliable and not switched. Reset your Powerbook's Power Management Unit, following the instructions in this article for your particular model. Connect the adapter to the Powerbook and let it charge for twelve hours without turning it on. Post back to let us know the results.
Other questions:
How old is your battery?
Was this battery supplied to you under Apple's replacement program for original PB batteries within a certain serial-number range? Many of the replacement batteries issued under that program seem to have been defective. They lose capacity very rapidly and prematurely (which yours hasn't done) and/or they refuse to charge even when they appear to be in good health (which yours may be doing). If your battery was supplied under the replacement program, it falls under greater suspicion.

When should I use the power adapter?

I just installed a wireless router. Should I use the power adapter when I'm not going to use the Macbook for several hours? Does the Macbook drain the battery when it is shut down or sleeping?

When should I use the power adapter?
Whenever you are near a power outlet. Not 100% of the time, of course (you have to flex the battery sometimes) but as often as possible.
Should I use the power adapter when I'm not going to use the Macbook for several hours?
If you are near an outlet, yes.
Does the Macbook drain the battery when it is shut down or sleeping?
When sleeping, it drains a negligible amount.

Macbook Pro gets really hot including the power adapter

Hi Guys,
Good day to you all!
I just have an inquiry about my recently purchased Macbook Pro 15-inch (non-Retina). On the first 2 days of using it by just running Mac Mail, Safari, and iTunes, it's temperature is really acceptable. However, on the 3rd day, the base of the Macbook Pro was really hot, including the Power Adapter. I even noticed that the fan was making a loud noise, just like a jet engine (just being exaggerated). But the fan activity is really unusually loud. When it got that hot, I was doing Skype with my wife, playing music in iTunes, copying photos from an external hard drive to iPhoto, and using Facebook in Safari.
What I did was I unplugged the power adapter, and let the battery reach 0% until it automatically goes to sleep. Then I will be charging it while it's off as part of the battery calibration link that I've found at the Apple support page. Also, I did the SMC reset.
I was just concerned because I don't know if I'm going to ask for a one to one exchange since it's still within the 14days return period for Apple Online Store purchase.
I hope someone can give me a suggestion and other recommendations to sort out the heat and fan issue.
Best regards,
Aris

It could if the camera wasn't properly wired and the camera was used a lot, or if the Skype software accessed the graphics chip a lot and the graphics chip was somehow damaged. A cooling pad is not a bad idea. But heating issues with Macs that present themselves with automatic shutdown are about the only one's I'd really get concerned about for the Mac. The notebook is not a laptop, and a cooling pad makes sense mostly if you are going to use it as one. Cooling it down would certainly help it regardless. If you notice a difference in performance with it, that might be worth while checking the hardware test mentioned on my tip and taking it in for. Do get AppleCare before it is a year old. That way you can bring it in and get the hardware fixed up to the third anniversary of buying the machine.

Laptop won't turn on - the power adapter light flashes three times? G62 b29SA

I've been replacing the fan in my friend's laptop. I had a problem with the trackpad not working after I put it back together and that problem is not yet resolved but I have another problem preventing me from getting further. Now when I press the on button, the power adapter light (next to the socket for the external power) flashes three times and that's all. It flashes again three times every time I press the power button. It does this even with an external power source plugged in (I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to just stay on constantly when the charger is plugged in but the power source I have is a universal one set to 19 V - it has powered up with this plugged in before but I don't know whether it was taking charge from it). Any advice?
This question was solved.

I got the charger from my friend and now it boots up just fine. There seem to be many meanings to the three flashes based on my Internet searches but in this case it appears that it's some way of indicating a low battery.

What does the AC Adapter for the WD My Cloud Look Like?

I have the WD My Cloud 3TB Part Number: WDBCTL0030HWT-00 I unplugged all my network equipment and went back to plug them in once everything was rearranged. But I have 2 AC to DC adapters that use the same plug, so I don't know which one is the right one. I personally think it is stupid not to put a WD logo on the AC adapter due to situations like this. But I usually mark these myself. I suppose I was in too much of a hurry to get it online to mark it this time. Nevertheless, I have two adapters, both produce 12 volts. I does 1.5A and the other does 1A. The one that outputs 12V & 1.5A is by Ktec: Model KSAS0241200150HU The one that outputs 12V & 1A is by Leader Electronics, Inc.: Model MT12-Y120100-A1 Anyone know which is the correct one? One (the 1.5A) would hang down from the wall socket while the other one (1A) shoots off to the side of it.

Hello,
The power adapter specs are:
12 Volts
1.5 Amps
18 Watts
Take a look a these links:
18 Watt Adapter (Available at the WD Online Store)
Power Adapters for WD Products

The power adapter gets very hot. Any suggestions?

The power adapter part that plugs into the computer gets very hot. I have replaced the battery and replaced the power adapter. It also has a hard time connecting and recharging the battery. Is it possible to change out the plug in part in the computer and is it expensive? Does it sound like this is what is needed to fix it? Its about 3 years old. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hot is normal for the charger but very hot is not. If it were mine It could be that your MBP is drawing too much current. I would take it to the Apple Store and have it checked out.

Does the power adapter of WRT54GC support 110V-240V?
