Fake power adapter - can I tell from the serial number?

Hi,
I have a 60W power adapter (magsafe, t-plug) and I'm trying to establish whether it's an 'Apple approved' part. It looks like my other power adapter - same writing on the sides, same apple logo embossed into the side - but I no longer trust the source.
Is there a way I can tell from its serial number? There is a number next to the cable socket, reading "RR84530725UA". I have a feeling that this might be a part not intended for UK market, or possibly one that has not passed the proper QA checks.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Alastair

Probably the best thing to do is take it to an Apple Store and compare it side-by-side with an Apple-branded adapter.

  • How can I tell from my serial number when I bought the computer

    I was trying to tell when I bought this computer to see if I can upgrade to Maverick. Is there a way to find out with the serial number? Thanks
    Les

    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later

             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

    I can't call to a mobile number since yesterday, but still can receive call from the same number. I am using iphone 4s. Is there any setting error?

    you have to make sure that CFWD Bridge Mode under the Line tab of the SPA9000 where the SPA400 is registered is set to ALL...include VMSP Bridge and XFER Bridge Mode as well..power cycle then check if you are still getting one-way audio

  • BAPI to remove leading zeros from the serial number

    Hi All ,
    plz can anybody suggest me the alternative BAPI for 'BAPI_SERVNOT_MODIFY_DATA ',whose function is to delete the leading zeros,from the serial number.
    Thanks.

    Perhaps instead of using a BAPI you can code it like this.
    DATA:serial(10) TYPE n VALUE '0000340078',
    pos TYPE i VALUE 1.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      WHILE pos <= 10 AND serial+pos(1) = 0.
        pos = pos + 1.
      ENDWHILE.
      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '0' IN serial(pos) WITH space.
      WRITE serial.

      There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here.  Can I just use the serial number again?  How can I deactive?  Has anyone else run into this?  How can I get Dreamweaver 8, which is no longer being activated by Adobe, on a new computer?  Is it even worth doing or do I need to get a new version.  What are the killer features I'm missing?

    If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

  • Can I find my mac from the serial number

    HI!
    My macbook and ipad were stolen last week. I know their serial number and other information from the invoice, Can I find them?

    Not likely, only way would be if you registered through Find My...in iCloud and then only if it is attached to the internet would it show up.
    Notify the police so the serial number is in the stolen property data base...if it appears on the market people will know if it has been stolen.

  • HT4061 I can't use my ipad mini.  All buttons are frozen including the on and off, can't even find the serial number, can't see it on the back, can't find it under settings because no buttons will work.  Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

    My ipad mini is frozen and won't allow me to use any buttons.  I can't access settings to get the serial number for Apple Support and I can't read the serial number from the back.  It's too small and shadowy.  There is a message that reads "ICloud Backup--This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.  Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
    It won't allow me to shut if off using the on and off button.  I stuck a paper clip into the tiny reset button, but nothing happens.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  Please help,
    Vmcalpin

    This is the most common "fix" when devices are behaving strangely. It only takes a minute and there's no risk of lost data. This is the reason you'll see this fix being suggested so often.
