HP G60 power cord is loose and gets hot...

Please have the cord replaced. It is loose on the laptop plug and sometimes disconnects with slight movement. It also gets hot and could pose problems. Thanks.

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post ( serial numbers and case details).

IPhone not charging and using more battery power while on charger and getting hot

I have an iPhone 4 and have had issues with it charging. This has happened 3-4 times over the past few months, where I put it on the wall charger prior to going to sleep and wake up with 17-20% battery power. Last night I placed it on the charger with approximately 70% battery power. I believe it charged to 100%, I left it on the charger and when I woke this morning the phone was hot (hotter than charging it with the USB) and the power was at 17%. Any suggestions on what I can do to rectify this issue? After the iOS upgrade it did and I reset the phone, ran the power completely out and charged 100%. I don't have any more apps open than usual. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Having a similar problem with my 3G IPhone. Battery life is fine but once I plug it in to charge it won't charge. I have to reset my phone and then it will start to charge as long as I unplug it and then plug it in again. This problem is something that is intermittent. I reinstalled the firmware but the problem did not go away. Something that I have noticed is that when this takes place usually the GPS function cannot find my current location at the same time. Once the phone is rest the GPS is fine. The fact that I have reloaded the firmware and the problem has not gone away leads me to think that this is a hardware problem. Well we will see soon I am going to take it in to get checked out. This is sort of annoying but I love the IPhone it is great!!!!

HT6058 just upgraded my IPhone 5 to 7.0.4, cant get it to do anything but show a power cord, up arrow and an apple logo. What is the problem?

just upgraded my iPhone 5 to 7.0.4, can't get it to do anything but show a power cord, up arrow, and an apple logo. I've powered it down a couple of times and still get the same image when powering back up. It is locked to that screen. What can I do?

Hook the phone to your computer and restore the phone using iTunes. Your phone is in recovery mode.

HT4060 Can I use the power cord (30-pin and USB) that came with iPad 2 to charge it in my car's USB port?

Can I use the power cord (30-pin and USB) that came with iPad 2 to charge it in my car's USB port? Or do I need to purchase one of those cigarette lighter charging devices? Thanks!

You'd have to read your car manual but chances are it won't put out enough power for the iPad. The car is likely set up to charge a phone, most of which typically want half the power an iPad wants.
I think your options are to get a cigarette lighter looking charger, making sure it's powerful enough for an iPad...or you can get power inverters for about $25, where they plug into the cigarette lighter/power point and have a normal household type outlet on the other end. Then you'd just plug your charger in like you would at home.
Another option would be to look for something like a Zagg Sparq, which is a battery operated charger...plug the Sparq into the outlet at home. Its battery holds a charge and you can use that to charge your device. (zagg isn't the only manufacturer of such a device, Targus has one as well). Just look for portable chargers.
The key to remember is to make sure it's rated for an iPad, which will want more power than a cell phone.

HP Laptop Power Cord Safety Recall and Replacement

Some power cords for HP and Compaq and mini notebook computers sold from September 2010 through June 2012 may be part of voluntary recall and replacement program launched on August 26, 2014.
The impacted power cords have the potential to overheat, posing a fire, and burn hazard.
To see if your cord may be affected, look for a “LS-15” marking molded into the connector that plugs into the AC adapter.
If you see a LS-15 marking please go to http://www.hp.com/support/PowerCordReplacement
Please note that there are two parts needed to charge your laptop.
1) The first part is the power cord that plugs into the wall.
Figure 1
2) The second part is the adapter.
Figure 2
HP is ONLY recalling the power cord used with HP and Compaq notebooks and mini notebooks and accessories such as docking stations. (See Figure 1)
To qualify your power cord and request and replacement, go here.
Since power cords for laptops are compatible, you can use another power cord with your AC adapter until the replacement one arrives.
I work for HP, supporting the HP Experts who volunteer their time and technical knowledge to help others.

Does HP really expect us to individually validate every single laptop in our fleet to see if the cord that originally shipped with the machine is included in the recall? That's putting your customers through a lot of hoops to resolve an issue that could result in a safety hazard.
Also, and as you yourselves point out in the bulletin, these cords are completely interchangable, and there's no guarantee that the cord in use on the machine is the one that shipped with it.
Please provide an easier method to determine if these cords are affected by the recall. Thanks.

My 3rd Gen won't boot up and gets hot when I plug in the charger.

The subject line pretty much describes my dilemma. My 3rd Gen won't boot up and gets hot when I plug in the charger. Any suggestions?

It is normal for an iPod to become warn when charging. Have you tried the troubleshooting here:

My computer is slow and gets hot

Computer is slow and gets hot. What could be the problem?

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Boot into Safe Mode and do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

G4 ibook won't turn on the power cord stays orange and won't charge the bat

I plugged my g4 ibook in and it turned the computer
off, I am in Ghana and used a surge protector but
think this might be the reason. I have tried
resetting the PMU and the orange indicator light on
the power cord blinks green when I do this but then
nothing happens. The battery on the bottom only one
light lights up when pushing the battery button. Has
anyone else had this problem.
In addition I removed the battery and the power indicator light went to green without the battery in and the power in it, but absolutely nothing. Replaced the battery and nothing. Please help I am in Ghana, and have no way to get help!!!

Hey Ryan,
Can you hear drumming [I studied with a Ghanian master from the Univ. there for 5 years and have a few hand carved djembes which are awesome].
I'm hoping that will divert you because you're not likely to find a new adapter there but that's undoubtedly the problem. I bent the prong on one slightly and it did the same thing, it's possible yours is like that. If you don't have any knowledge of it being bent it probably happened inadvertently, so you might try letting it sit out in the hot African sun until the gold is very malable then just run your fingers round the prong very lightly try to align it. I tried all night and this didn't work but it did get the thing closer so it might work for you.
Here's a link to a very good price where I got my replacement and it's good $38: http://store.shentech.com/ap24v145wsqs.html

AC Power Cord -- how not to get Apple Care replacement - is there a written policy?

I had a cord about 8 years ago that was replaced by Apple Care (it no longer charged the old Mac Powerbook).
Well, my power cord a few laptops on (my present MacBook Pro 2011) needed to be replaced (the connection at the end where the cord meets the body appeared worn -- maybe I streched it out or kinked it too much). And so I checked here and googled other forums to see if I could take it into the Genius Bar rather than deal with Apple Care on the phone. It appeared from the discussions here and elsewhere that Powercords were sometimes replaceable, and sometimes not.
The Genius bar refused to replace it. I'm not upset because, as a temporary measure, where the cord was worn, I opened up the insulation to see if I could adjust the wiring to get the to work. Tweaking it did get it to charge for another few days (work deadlines!) until I could get to the Genius Bar. But it's probably because I opened up the insulation that they balked at replacement.
So it goes.
But I do wish Apple Care would've covered it. It's not super expensive but in this crummy economy, every little bit helps.
Maybe it depends upon the luck of the draw: who you get to accept (or reject) the return? Or is this thing warranted only in a "discretionary manner"? Is there a written policy?
I guess I could try to go through Apple Care on the phone, but I'd have to send my old cord back from what I can tell, and then might get charged for the new one?
Anyway: just a recommendation: if you're cord is on the fritz, don't tamper with it to try to get it to work: you might endanger your chances of getting an Apple Care replacement.

It really depends on how you treat the objects you own. If you kink/bend/twist the MageSafe end of the AC charger what do you expect. There are no kinks or bends or twists in my AC charger and it is 16 months old and wrapped up almost daily to be put in my bag.

X220 power cord doesn't completely get in

The power cord I plug into the back of x220i dosn't get coompletely in. I see the metal part of it when it's plugged. It also kinda dances inside a bit, it's not strong. Is that normal?

Should be fine.
I see a bit of metal on my T400 too. And the jack wiggles up and down in an arc of around ten degrees (rough usage). Zero contact issues though.

Can you use after market charging accessories on the 5s? My 5s recognizes the item but will not charge. I've tried two after market power cords (they work) and 3 adapters I put on my old 4s power cord. Only the Apple cord works.

I've tried using my sister's after market power cord and it recognizes that an accessory has been plugged in but it won't charge. The cord does charge my sister's 5. I've also purchased 3 adapters and put them on my 4s power cords and the same thing happens. Only the power cord they came with the phone will charge it. Does anyone know if this is a new thing will all
5s iPhones or just mine?
Thanks!

New to iOS 7. Not just your iPhone 5S. There have been several
injuries and a few deaths due to 3rd party chargers - use the
supplied charger and cord.

G60 power led, charge led, and power button led flash continually

I have a G60 laptop that will not charge the battery or start up and when I plug the power into it the power led, charge led, and power button led flash continually
If I press the power button I here the DVD drive make a noise and a fan comes on and goes right off.

Hi
Probably a hardware issue, may have to contact local technical assistance or HP
Is the system able to boot up with AC supply only with battery removed?
Try keeping it charged for 3 hours or so with battery & AC adapter plugged in the lap, and try powering it on again after that.
