G5 Power supply not covered by warranty?

I have a G5 power mac with the exact power supply problem explained at this URL:
http://www.apple.com/uk/support/powermac/powersupply/repairextension/
Trouble is, it does not fall into the serial number range explained on that page. If this is indeed a manufacturing problem, how can I get it serviced under the policy listed on the above URL site? Is there any other recourse to have this problem resolved by Apple? Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi BobCat260;
Since this is a user to user forum, I doubt that you will get much help here. My suggestion is to call your local Apple store and ask them. I would start the process there. If you don't get a satisfactory answer there you can escalate to customer support for their help.

  • Genius told me that my power adapter was NOT covered under warranty. ?????

    Not too happy with my Apple store as of late. First I bring in my defective iPhone power adapter for a replacement and was told I had to schedule an appointment with a "Genius". I guess it takes a genius to plug in a power adapter and see that it doesn't work. Of course the next available appointment was 2 days away. So....I leave, make an appointment, come back 2 days later and the Genius tells me that the power adapter is not covered under warranty. Is this correct???? This is crazy. He actually told me that I could just buy another one there for $29 or find one on Ebay.
    I don't even really have much use for the power adapter, but I find it very hard to believe that it is not covered under the same 1 year warranty as the phone.
    Is this true?
    Thanks.

    I have had to deal with the "genius bar" for 4 weekends straight now, with one more weekend to go. All to simply get my Apple iPhone bluetooth replaced. They gave me a refurbished one which was still broken, and they didnt know how to even use their own software to do the rma. So far my worst experience with a store in a very long time and I have no plans of doing business with Apple through one of their "genius bars" ever again. Heck, I had to show the so called iPhone genius how to pair the headset with the phone. Quite pathetic.

  • Dead/brigh​t pixels - not covered under warranty??​???

    I contacted hp about my brand new beats audio special edition laptop having a couple of dead pixels and was told they do not cover the lcd touchscreen under the warranty - what is that???? it is hardware and if it has a couple dead and bright pixels in the first week then what will happen over the next year? I dont have $600 to throw out every couple months for a new laptop and am very angry at this response ......

    Thanks for the help , though it may be too late( not your fault at all , but the tech support) . I was contacted through pm and responded with the requested info . The problem is my return window ends Monday and I am hesitant to wait any longer after my experience yesterday. I am finding it hard to trust in hp after being told the LCD panel is not covered under warranty and then getting a email from chat support that said my issue was a bright screen and they fixed it by updating the video driver(neither one true) . To top it off I could not even respond to the email because it was sent from a unmonitored address and it said if I had any "other" issues I should go back on chat again . This is the worst customer service I have ever received.

  • Power supply not strong anough on macpro quad

    We are running 5 macpro quad 5gb ram, 3Hardisk and Protools HD3 PCIe cart, whem we put a 4th HD the problem starts; bad running, bad startup. on one of them we change twice the mother board on warranty(oups). Did anybody have the same kind of problems.
    We suspect that the power supply is not strong anough.
    Regards

    The reason it won't turn on is because pins 21 and 23 are not in the standard ATX PSU configuration. Your motherboard works with an HP configured ground on pin 21 and +12 VDC instead of the ATX  (ATX12V v2.01)standard unused pin and +5VDC respectively.

    Standard ATX PSU connector
    I have not seen a non HP PSU available that would work without modification.  
    Not all HP's are built with propietary PSU connections most newer, non-business models use the standard ATX PSU configuration.

  • HP Z400 Workstation Power Supply not Supported

    Good Day All,
    I would like to seek help on the issue that i am currently facing.
    Currently, I am using an HP Z400 Workstation and decided to switch to a bigger casing. I Bought a Full tower and casing and just realized that i am unable to move the power supply (425 Watts) as well due to the cables are too short to reach the CPU main Powers.
    So I bought a separate Power Supply (Cooler Master M2 Silent Pro 850 Watts).The cables are perfectly enough to reach the CPU main power source. After putting everything the pc won’t turn on……
    I thought my newly power supply was defective and got a replacement at the same day. I tried the new Power supply and simply does not want to turn on… this is getting frustrating as I am unable to figure out what is really causing the issue.
    I also tried to just plugging the cables at the Main power and removed all the additional devices just to test but still no luck….
    I started checking forums… there is only one post regarding about unable to change any other third party Power Supply for this HP Z400 Workstation. I guess it apply to all HP Branded as well as Dell.
    Guys I need your help as I don’t want to make a mistake again on considering to build another machine just because this one was not working… Maybe there is one there that manages to bypass or have a resolution on how I can successfully upgrade my Power supply using the same HP Motherboard.
    Here is my Current Specs..
    Processor
    Intel® Xeon® Quad-Core Processor W3565 (3.20 GHz, 8 MB cache, 1066 MHz memory)
    Chipset  Intel® X58 Express
    Here is the link for the full details of the specs
    http://www8.hp.com/sg/en/products/workstations/product-detail.html?oid=3718668
     Here is the power supply I want to replace http://h20464.www2.hp.com/results.htm?SID=3718668&MEID=368CA2BE-30F2-40AE-8929-DBF4AF2ADC21

  • T60 Keyboard not covered under warranty?

    Here is a bit of an annoying Lenovo update. Keyboards are no longer covered under warranty. I have a 3-year warranty, but can’t claim my key-board… What is that about? The letter K shifted and came off – one of the lease used keys. Apparently they just changed this last week, but be a common problem as they had none in stock and it just gets better the good news is that it cost between $150 – 180… the guy could not nail down a price for me… Apple is looking better all the time!

    I have already contacted the local Service Center and they are adamant on saying that I need to pay for the replacement of the front glass.
    My question;
    1. I have repeatedly told that my handset has an INTERNAL crack, which has appeared without any fall or impact. I believe that it is a design fault for which I SHOULD NOT be penalized.
    To support my words, I find that similar issues have been reported for the same model across the globe;
    http://conversation.which.co.uk/technology/sony-xperia-z-cracking-phone-screen-replacement-repair-wa...
    Mine is not the only case wherein such cracks have developed. In UK, Sony has already confirmed this issue and agreed to replace the faulty units free of cost. Please read the link below and watch the video as well.
    http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/05/30/bbcs-watchdog-investigates-xperia-z1-cracking-screen-issue-sony...
    If in UK, this issue has been owned up by Sony company, should the same not be done in India, as ultimately it is Sony and region should not be a bar for taking such decisions especially in case of design flaws.

  • PWB G4 Power Supply NOT AVALAIBLE in AppleStore?

    Hi guys,
    sorry but my G4 Powerbook 12" has taken some water (not in fact the notebook but the power supply) and it doesn't run anymore.
    I'm looking for the original one on the online Apple Store (Italy) and I can't find it!!
    I'm sure my notebook it's not in the list of "too old macs" 'cause it's the last version (1,5GhZ) before the switch to Intel.
    Waiting for an answer,
    thank you so much..
    Ivan

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    The only power adapters being sold on the online Apple Store at the moment is the Mag safe which works with the MacBooks from 2006 upwards
    I've not seen a PowerBook or iBook adapter on there for a while now. The actual store may sale you one. (Via order process) If you have access to a Apple Store near you.
    You could contact the online Apple Store sales by phone and see if one could be ordered.
    Failing that, you can get online vendors and auction sites like eBay who sale the original Apple power adapter for the PowerBook.
    Bets of Luck

  • 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

  • Variable power supply not working in virtual elvis

    When i make a virtual elvis 3d schematic i cannot get any output from the variable power source, i have played with it alot and still no output. please help.

    Thank you for your time to help me out,
    I got it to work using the shift+P and shift+n hotkeys. A suggestion I have is to remove the shift restraint for the GUI interface P and N buttons that appear on the screen after you highlight variable power supply, as it is non-intuitive for a user to know you must hold shift then press GUI buttons as well. I suggest coding those visual buttons to alias SHIFT+P and SHIFT+N operations when you click on them for ease of user interface.

  • Mobile not covered under warranty for hairline INTERNAL crack appearing without fall or any impact

    Job No. W115041604910
    I own a Sony Xperia Z1 compact mobile, which I purchased on 29th July, 2014, and around 11th April, 2015, I started to face touch screen problem in the middle region of my mobile. I was playing games on my phone when this issue cropped up.
    The issue was very strange as at times the phone would start typing on its own on security pin screen. This lead to all my data being erased!
    Later, I noticed that the lower part of the front screen of my mobile had a hairline crack - this was strange as my phone did not have any fall or any impact that would result in an INTERNAL hairline crack with no impact on the exterior of the screen. 
    I took my mobile to the authorized Sony service center in Koramanagala (Vigneshwar Services) on 16th April, 2015 and on 23th April, 2015 I was provided an estimated bill of Rs. 6000/-.
    When I escalated the case by writing to "[email protected]", after multiple call and email exchanges, I was provided the "management" response on the Sony letter head stating that "the display was broken and needs to be replaced for satisfactory working of the set and the service estimate for the faulty part is Rs. 6007/-."
    I declined to approve the amount for my repair, as my phone is within the warranty period.
    Please go through the spec of Sony Xperia Z1 Compact on the below website, where it clearly says that the display is shatterproof;
    http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1_compact-5753.php
    Firstly, since the Spec claims that the glass is shatterproof, the crack on my mobile does not void the warranty.
    Secondly, since the hairline crack on my mobile has appeared under "mysterious" circumstances and not a result of any fall or human error on my part, I decline paying any repair cost for my mobile. Also, this is an INTERNAL crack only, which will not appear due to a fall.
    Thirdly, I should not be penalized for the faulty design issue for this model of Sony mobile.
    At one point I would patronize with brand Sony, but sorry to say that is no longer true due to the trauma in dealing with Sony Service Center and Bangalore Regional Office. 

    I have already contacted the local Service Center and they are adamant on saying that I need to pay for the replacement of the front glass.

  • G5 Power Supply not working?

    Hi, while using my G5 that other day, my screen froze. I powered off, then back up again. The screen came up but froze immediately.... Now when I turn it on the power button lights for a second then nothing. Dead. Any ideas? Could it be the power supply? Is this a costly thing to fix? My G5 is 4 years old. Worth looking into a new Pro Mac?
    Thanks.
    Beth

    I realize this is an old thread, but just in case...
    {quote:title=Beth Radisek1 wrote:}should I just bite the bullet and buy a new G5? Or sink that into my 4 year old G5? {quote}
    Maybe neither? How about a used G4 for $200?
    Buy 3 of them, and if one fails, just save any parts you can can, junk the rest, power up the next G4, and keep right on working.
    You'll spend less on three G4's than one G5, and you'll get better reliability.
    This is the road I'm taking, no more new Macs for me.

  • Had problems with display said cracked screen not covered by warranty anyone else with this problam

    My daughter has MacBook Pro 15 with Retina display.   Bought in January 2014.   Said she must have dropped it.   She has barely used it.   She suffers from migraines and is in bed almost 24 hours a day.   They said it could have ben shut wrong.   of course AppleCare doesn't take care of it.   Anyone else know who we can contact.

    Apple care warranty does not cover accidental damage under warranty.  They can still repair it for you.
    You can check your homeowners insurance if you think it is worth it.

  • S510p dc jack not covered in warranty?

    My laptop,S510p had its DC Jack broken.It didnt fall down,nor did it have any accident.
    I gave it to the lenovo service centre,and they put the blame on me and are asking me to pay a huge amount(around 150$) just for a jack
    My question is,are they right?The laptop is hardly 4 months old,and this dc port looks like a new design,is this a design flaw and are they are accusing me for a manufacturing defect and refusing to honour warranty.
    Is there anyway i could escalate this?

    Major design flaw on Iphone 5. Glass has deep scratches from normal use in less than two months. My previous Iphone had no scratches after two years. However on this phone I can feel several deep scratches with my finger nail. I am very concerned this phone will have many deep scratches from normal use in the next few months.  Like I said before, this was not an issue on my previous Iphone 4 which I owned for over two years.
    Do I have a defective Iphone 5, or is this a design flaw, or both ???
    I hope Apple fixes the defective glass, and replaces my phone under warranty. Apple is better than this.

  • APC UPS (uninterruptible power supply) not restarting after power restored

    I just bought an APC UPS 1500VA Smart-UPS (model SUA1500) to protect:
    -- iMac 20" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB memory and 500GB internal disk
    -- (2) external Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB USB drives
    -- (1) external MacGurus Burly Firewire enclosure with (4) 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drives
    -- DSL modem
    -- Ethernet hub
    -- Airport Express (b/g-model, not the new n model)
    The UPS is connected to my Mac via USB cable. The UPS shows up in System Profiler as "Smart-UPS 1500 FW:601.3.D USB FW:8.1". It also appears in System Preference Energy Saver pane.
    I have configured the Energy Saver preferences pane to shut down the computer when 75% of the UPS battery remains. And to restart after power failure (both on power adapter and on UPS).
    So I cut the power to the UPS and the computer properly shuts down when the battery reaches 75%. A couple of minutes later, the UPS turns itself off. All good so far.
    PROBLEM 1: When utility power is restored, the UPS does not restart. APC's documentation says it should. Is the Mac sending some sort of shut-down command to the UPS over the USB cable that is preventing the USB from restarting?
    PROBLEM 2: After I manually start the UPS (by turning it on after utility power is restored), the Mac ignores its setting to "automatically restart after power failure." I want the machine to restart itself because it is my backup server, music server, and provides file sharing access for other computers on my home-office network.
    Anyone else having trouble getting their UPS or Mac to restart after a power failure? Any thoughts? Any configuration settings I'm not getting right?
    Many thanks.

    The "Restart automatically after a power failure" option only restarts if the computer was running when power failed. Since you had it shutdown before the power failed, it's not going to restart. Maybe Mac servers, or the server version of OSX, have more options.
    Instead of shutting down when the UPS battery is almost dead, you could just stop all the applications that write to disk, so there won't be any disk operations in progress, then wait for the power to fail. It will then restart when the power come back. You should have something running to monitor the UPS, in case power returns, and the UPS doesn't shut off its output. In that case you should have it restart your applications.
