Installing second drive - where is the power cord?

Hello,
I am trying to install a second drive on my Quad. I see the data jumper but don't see a jumper for the power. Am I missing something?
Thanks, Gary

Actually solved this one myself . After searching and searching for the cord under the drive bay (convinced it was missing) I looked ABOVE the and saw that there is a second power connector attached the drive in the upper bay. You have unplug that connector, drop it down to the bottom drive and plug the second connector into the drive in the upper bay.
All is now well.

Where is the power cord on iMac?

I want to unplug my iMac desktop. Which cord is it?

marydigs,
It's the white cord plug on the back of the computer in the middle, locate the hole in the stand and look straight through it to see. Here is a picture that should help you out.

Can you charge a macbook by any other means than the power cord? For example the usb drive? My cord works fine but the outlet on the laptop is not.

The only way to charge a MBP is with a MagSafe power supply (wall or airline) try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713

HT4060 Where on the iPad mini do I plug in the power cord?

I just bought a new iPad mini and need to recharge the battery. But I don't see where on the iPad to plug in the power cord. The power cord has the same male connector as my iPhone 4. Help!

Use the cable that came with the iPad mini, not with your iPhone. Different connectors.

Anyone know where I can buy the power cord for intel imac

i lost the power wire to my imac and i don't know where to buy it
anyone know where can I get it and how much it costs?

Newer iMacs use ordinary computer power cords commonly used on all sorts of electronic equipment.
The power cord used on G5 iMacs (I think) is different but is also readily available. Either one will cost you less than $10.

New (3mo) macbook air screen goes black and sometimes won't come back on after I unplug it from the power cord. Any ideas why it is doing this? Sometimes I have to hold power button for 10 seconds for it to shut off then back on.

New (3mo) macbook air screen goes black and sometimes won't come back on after I unplug it from the power cord. Any ideas why it is doing this? Sometimes I have to hold power button for 10 seconds for it to shut off then back on. Sometimes holding the power button for a second is enough for it to come back on.

I took it to the Genius Bar, and they identified it as a hardware issue. Just got it back today. Parts replaced were:
620-5629 Display Module — Symptom: Distored/blurred/focus video issue
605-3284 Top Case with Keyboard — Symptom: specific key(s) do not work
So far so good. I'd suggest taking it in and not trying to work around it — it's a rare hardware issue (given the number of threads about it) and should be replaced.

Black screen when plug the power cord

Hi..
yesterday I bought a new laptop : hp 15-r138
When I plug the power cord - or unplug it .. the screen turn black for a second and then goes back to normal ..
Is this OK ?
Thanks

I've heard of this. Where when you do the update, if you let the screen go dim, or something you can't get it back because you can't see anything due to those controls running in the background at this stage of installation. I'm pretty sure you need to plug it into an external monitor to get it back maybe?

Satellite Pro U400 sometimes freezes when the power cord is plugged in

Hello! I know this problem has been discussed here and there but I would like to open a new thread on that. Here is the scenario.
I have recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-247 (PSU45E) with two batteries: (a) the original one, (b) additionally purchased Toshiba genuine PA3636U-1BRL, 7200 mAh. The notebook has the latest BIOS (4.80) and the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba and installed (ConfigFree is not installed). I am using XP Pro SP3 (clean install done by myself). Everything is working very well, except for one thing:
Sometimes (but not always), when the notebook is working on battery and I plug in the power cord, everything freezes and I have to restart. Some observations:
(a) it tends to happen more frequently when the low battery alarm has already sounded;
(b) it seems to happen more frequently with the 7200 mAh battery and less frequently with the original battery;
(c) it seems to happen more often when a USB device (e.g. mouse) has been connected with the notebook, but that is not a rule;
(d) it seems to happen less frequently when I move the USB mouse at the time I am plugging in the power cord;
(e) I have experimented a lot with Toshiba PowerSaver's settings (e.g. changed the CPU levels for my profiles) but nothing I have modified seems to change the situation;
(f) I have tried various suggestions I found on different forums, but no avail (e.g. BIOS settings);
(g) otherwise, I can say that I really have not seen a smoother computer, everything else is really working just fine, no other problems whatsoever :)
All this makes me think that this must be some kind of bug in the motherboard drivers, the PowerSaver driver or other drivers interacting with the battery, the CPU or possibly USB. Is there an explanation for this problem and can it be rectified somehow (e.g. by providing a driver update)?

Hello, thanks for the reply!
My bad, of course I meant the chipset driver. That, however, does not change the essence of the question. Also, I know that a notebook should function properly even the AC adaptor is connected or not connected. That is why I posted my question.
As for the OS reinstall, sorry, I would not do that just on some wild guess from somebody. I recently finished the clean OS install. I have installed XP on dozens of notebooks in my life and I know what I am doing. I have been into computers and networking for 15 years and I know when I see a problem not related to how I install my OSes.
My personal opinion: this problem has not to do with the OS install since the same problem also existed when I test-installed the XP OS image from Toshiba's own downgrade CD (that was before I did a clean install from my own slipstreamed CD). And, if you really use a properly and carefully configured OS with all the necessary software, an OS reinstall is not something you just do every day.
As for the rest (testing the memory / adapter / motherboard etc.): as I have mentioned, similar (although not identical) topics have been raised in various other instances (e.g. at http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/B...EABCA64EE6C5D9) . That means that this problem is most probably not specific to my computer or even to U400 but it may happen with other Toshiba notebooks too. Therefore a (rather standard) suggestion to spend days on reinstalling (and in my case, carefully reconfiguring) the OS, checking the memory, adapter, mobo etc. does not sound as the most plausible one in this case. FYI, I always do full tests on hardware right after I have installed an OS. In this computer, all tests (Toshiba's own; 3rd party memory diagnostics, HDD diagnostics) were passed OK. Indeed, I did not have the AC adapter tested but as it otherwise works fine, the possible problem (if there is one) would be a minor one to notice, and would require testing at a Toshiba service centre (there is no direct Toshiba agency in my country). I think testing the AC adapter is the last resort as much more probably, the problem lies somewhere else.
Even if this problem is hardware-related, I do not expect Toshiba to replace all such hardware out there. However, on many occasions, hardware-related problems can be cured or alleviated on the software side (e.g. by a driver or BIOS update). Since it seems that other people are having similar problems with Toshiba hardware/software, I thought that maybe someone has found an actual solution or maybe there are Toshiba employees reading these forums who could look into it.

Does a Laptop Warranty Cover the Power Cord?

Hi, I bought a HP Envy Touchsmart 15 and it is still covered by warranty. However, I cannot find any support help online such as the support chat which I find very odd since I just used it about a month ago when my battery died! Where did all the support go?
Anyways, when I plug in my laptop, the LED by the power port does not come on, and my laptop will not charge or turn on at all. My battery is dead, but I know it works becasue it is less than a month old. Since my laptop will not run on AC power even with the battery removed, I feel the power cord is the problem.
I would really like to know if my warranty covers the power cord, and if so how do I contact HP, since there is absolutley no information when I go to "Contact Us" besides the consumer forums.
I am a ECE student at UT in Austin, and every day I go without a laptop is hurting my grades. So I need help ASAP

Hi
Yes, power cord, adapter are covered under limited warranty. HP would replace it for you if it's faulty.

My MacBook Pro 13'' shuts down randomly while connected to the power cord.

Alright, so my Mac is shutting down while being connected to the power cord. Though, when I unplugged it, it runs just fine.
I've read up on the other random shut downs but they seem to be different in my case. I was only surfing youtuve on Firefox, granted I had a few other tabs open but they weren't doing anything that would run the computer hot, and it shut down out of no where. The battery was full and it was still connected to my power cable. The screen went blank and the computer was completely off. I noticed that the light on the plug in wasn't on and switch the outlet that the computer was plugged into and replugged it into my computer. The light came on and after about three or so times of pressing the power on button it came back to life. Though, it stayed on the start up, white apple page and just spun. After a while it looked as if it was about to go to my password page but it shut down after gently moving the computer. The power cable light went off once again. I unplugged it and replugged it into my computer but the light would not come back on. After just removing the cord and pushing the button a few times my computer came back to life and I logged in as normal except for the fact that after it came back on the date and time was reset and several applications needed permissions. It also randomly logged me out of my Facetime account as well.
All in all I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and know what's going on or if this is new. Could it be some kind of spark in the power cable from a broken wire that made my computer shut down or is it something attacking my computer?

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

My laptop crashes - i think it's the power cord but i'm not for sure

I have a 2 year old Toshiba Satellite Laptop model # A205-S4707. I bought it brand new in 2008, but I just recently started having this problem. I at first thought it was a problem with the video card because what will happen is the video freezes up and will show different color lines or a black or blue box. I thought the window air conditioning unit by my desk being on may have something to do with it because I started noticing the issue at the beginning of summer when I started using the window AC. The problem would normally happen when it would be loading my programs when I first turn it on, but now it crashes 30 minutes to an hour or maybe 2 hours after I turned it on. I than thought it might be my power cord since there's a couple places in my power cord where the inner wire is exposed, so I taped the areas and plugged it back in and it still crashes, but not as much as it used to. The other day it wanted to crash every time I tried to start my laptop up, and since it would just crash after 2 hours of it being on. And this morning it wanted to crash while loading windows twice when I had it plugged in, but when I unplugged it it's working fine. Something tells me it's the power cord causing the issue - anyone else have any experience with this issue? If so, how can this issue be resolved? I can't go on depending on battery usage because I like leaving my laptop on when I'm asleep (I have it turned off when I'm at work - so it's on probably 15 hours a day). If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. My OS is Windows Vista.
THanks,
Mike

I have an 18-month P305 series Satellite and for a while (approximately 8-9 months ago) I couldn't figure out why my laptop would all of a sudden shut down while everything was working fine, or sometimes it even shut off when I press the power button to turn it on. My laptop was also acting pretty wierd with the Illumination Buttons, they wouldn't respond and froze, wouldn't light up after the computer has turned on and sometimes it won't turn off if the computer's been completely shut down, yes, the lights still stay lit afterward.
Just last week, when I was moving my laptop around to adjust for comfort, the thing shuts down on me again, this time I realized that the ac light had a 'quick' flick and this tells me that there is something wrong with power supply, either DC jack or the cord by the plug. I usually disconnect the battery when I have it plugged in to preserve the life of the cells. So when every time this thing becomes loose, the laptop would shut off. I was actually blaming the problem with bad BIOS and and maybe faulty updated drivers. The other day, I held the wire (by the socket and the fuse) and kind of twist and turn it and sure enough, I lost power, and the ac light flickered. I knew right away that was the problem. I found an identical original OEM power supply on ebay for $15 shipped, received it today and all is well. All this time, the culprit was the power cord.
My advice is to take the battery out and run the power from the AC cord, wiggle and turn the 'wire' slightly by the dc jack, also, test the plug to the DC connecter; hold the barrel (the plug socket to the computer) and wiggle it, if it doesn't shut off then it's the wire and you need a new power supply. Make sure you buy one that is of high quality. I recommend OEM for safety reasons.

HT4061 I updated my phone this morning and now it is stuck with an iTunes logo and arrow pointing to it and a pic of the power cord - the phone was plugged in when I started the update...now I can't access my phone at all

My phone is plugged in and the screen shows the power cord connector and arrow and the iTunes logo. I have made sure the plug is in and power on. Touching the screen does nothing. I have turned it off and back on I get an apple pic then back to the iTunes logo pic, arrow and plug....

I installed new update and have had the connect to iTunes all day. I got home connected to iTunes and it said my phone couldn't be updated it needed restored to factory settings. I was reluctant to lose everything so I ignored this and clicked update. After it installed it said to restore again. Again I ignored it and this time it updated my phone and my phone turned back on with everything there.
So glad I ignored the previous messages asking me to restore! You could try this if you have iTunes and don't want it restored to factory settings.

Does the battery recall affect the power cord jack?

My computer battery is part of the recall. However in addition to the battery problem, the jack where the power cord plugs in is not working. I brought it to an authorized repair location and was told the "bronze wore off" and that the entire interior piece would have to be replaced. At a cost of approximately $500. since it is 2 years old. My question is this: could the faulty battery have affected the jack and therefore shouldnt this problem be covered under the recall?

Absolutely. And if they give you a hassle about it at the apple store explain to them quietly that a policy which does not factor into account the damage caused by defective parts is a marketing strategy that is admonishing the proper use of a computer. Furthermore it relegates the status of a consumer to the level of non-interest in furthering the aim of the company.
Hows that? It's the best I could come up with but in light of the trouble with the SEC that this and other companies are facing this should be ample enough ammunition to accomplish the mission [but don't hassle with applecare take it to the store unless you have a warranty and in that case it would be covered].
