In need of new charger for 2009 Macbook Pro

I got my Macbook Pro in the summer of '09, along with a charger cable. Now my charger has finally decided that it no longer wants to work properly, forcing me to maneuver it in all kinds of positions to make the connection happen (I think it got crimped somewhere along the way, and now it takes playing around to find the connection again).
I want to get a new charger, but I don't know which kind to get. The one I currently have has a T-shaped connector; does this mean I need to get one with the same shape, or could I get an L-shaped head? I know that the ones for Macbook air don't fit (my sister has one, and it's wider and narrower than mine), and I have no idea what version of MagSafe I have (writing on the bottom is kind of rubbed off). Any ideas?

You should replace it with the same model - 85 watt with T connector. However, it's likley the L shaped one will work as well. This is for a MacBook Pro.
Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adaptor (for 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro).
Apple no longer sells the T-shaped adaptors. However, you can find refurbished replacements elsewhere by searching with Google.

  • I need a new router for my MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.3

    Need a new router for OS 10.9.3 and found that Linksys E2500 is not compatible. Any suggestions for a moderately priced router that will work for a 2300 square foot home and patio? Thanks!

    It depends on what your idea of moderately priced is... however, I would go with the 6th generation Apple AirPort Extreme -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/ME918LL/A/airport-extreme?fnode=4d.
    It's a joy of a router and so simple to configure with the AirPort Utility. Unlike some routers, where the setup takes a network genius to configure and maintain, you can access all the settings you need through the utility. I've had dozens of routers in my lifetime but the 6th generation AirPort Extreme beats them all, hands down, and is well worth the extra money that it may cost. It's also 'future-proof,' so if you buy a machine that utilizes 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology, you'll be set.
    I can't recommend it highly enough.

  • What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13"  mid 2009 model?

    What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model? I have two chargers for two different Mac and don't know which is  thankswhich. I'm really looking for specific details such as voltage/watts and all the rest to idenify my charger.  A link to where to web page where I could purchase the correct charger would also be very useful. Many thanks.
    All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

    Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
    Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
    Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

    All of the A1181 polycarbonate MacBooks use the A1184 60W MagSafe power supply/charger and the A1185 battery. These are the Apple part numbers. Other manufacturers make equivalent replacement products, but the quality may not be acceptable.

  • Can I change a new battery for my MacBook Pro 15' Retina? How?

    Can I change a new battery for my MacBook Pro 15' Retina? How?

    Hi!
    About a month ago, my MBPr 15", mid 2012 (Model Identifier10,1) showed, at first, Battery Service warning and on the next day X over the battery icon with Battery Not Available message in the status. MBP would run only and while the charger was plugged in, plug led would be always green, when connected. Battery test third party sw would not detect the battery, any longer. 
    Replacing upper case with battery/keyboard/trackpad, as per Apple,  in my country was too expensive, over 1000 USD, did't make any sense to me, so I've chosen DIY option (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLhHSIej9fs) with all necessary precautions like tools, ESD protection grounded pad in place and ordered "new" replacement battery from Hong Kong on Ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/400699766989?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STR K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT).
    Yesterday I came in new packing/sealed, I installed it, plugged the power cable on, plug led would turn green and then orange, I thought it's ok, but once system booted, I saw again X over battery icon and "Battery Not Available". I checked all the hints on internet, tried several times SMC and EPRON resets, no success. I filed complaint to Ebay supplier, he replied that battery undergone test prior the shipment, but ready for return and refund.
    So, I can make another try and buy the battery from Ebay but what if the problem is with my logic board? From one hand charger plug led lights orange when connected to MBP, on another hand System doesn't see the battery at all: No battery in the System info/Hardware/Power. it works absolutely fine when plugged-in to charger. I ran extended AHT (over pressed "D" key while powering on) twice with No Problem in return. So, my question is does it ultimately mean that Logic Board and power circuits are all fine and the whole thing is about "new bad" battery? I there any way to entirely test Logic board and narrow down problem origin?
    Thank you for attention in advance,
    Nurlan

  • If I already have iWork suite on my iPad, do I need to buy another for my MacBook Pro?

    If I already have iWork suite on my iPad, do I need to buy another for my MacBook Pro, can i transfer to my new acbook pro?

    The Mac version is a separate version from the iOS version and has top be paid for separately.
    If you buy it from the Mac App Store (MAS) however it is quite cheap and can be installed on all your computers that use the same Apple ID.

  • The charger for my Macbook pro is not working.

    For some unknown reason, the charger for my Macbook pro is not charging.  The green light that is at the connection does not turn on.  The outlet power source remains good.  Am I stuck having to buy another charger?

    Try performing an SMC reset:

  • My charger for my MacBook Pro

    My charger for my MacBook Pro has exposed wires. It is still woking, but I am afraid the exposed wires will cause a fire or may even shock me. I am no longer under warranty because I bought my MacBook Pro in 2011. What can I do? I looked at chargers for this computer and they are $80 and I can't afford that being a student without an income. Please help!

  • Does a usb cab to 60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist

    does a usb cable
    does a Usb cable to60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist? i have an external battery pack i would like to use to charge my iphone and macbook pro.

    Not that I am aware of.  An Internet search on your part will be required.  If you should find something to that effect, note it will not be endorsed by Apple and the magnetic connector will probably be in violation of Apple patents.

  • Can i buy new battery for my macBook pro in egypt ?

    can i buy new battery for my macBook pro in egypt ?
    and where i find it ? and how much

    Here are the International Apple support telephone numbers:

    I note Egypt is not listed.
    Purchasing a battery from a third party vendor is a high risk proposition.  Many such batteries have been found to be substandard. 
    I suggest that you try and contact Apple and see if you can have one shipped to you.
