Is light faulty on new 60w power adapter for my Macbook?

Had to order a new 60w power adapter for my Macbook a couple of weeks ago -- bought it from the Apple Store (the new design adapter). When it's plugged in it turns green, then immediately turns red to recharge -- all normal. Once fully recharged the adapter light turns/stays green. But after awhile the adapter light goes out altogether. The icon shows it's charging, but the red (and green) light is off. If I remove the adapter and plug it back in the lights will come on again.
Is this normal?
Thanks.

I think I'm experiencing the same problem. My computer charges but the light goes back and forth from being on or off, orange or green. I'm a little disappointed that the light could be burned out, but I guess a little light like that can't last forever. Oh well.
Is it worth pursuing a replacement from Apple since I still have AppleCare? Just wondered.
Anyway, this is really helpful information. Thanks for sharing.

  • New power adapter for old macbook - It doesn't work!

    Hello!
    My MacBook is 3 years old. My power adapter got broken at the end where you put it into the socket.
    Now I bought a new power adapter. The adapters have changed now. The end where you put it into the computer looks now a little bit different. But they told me in the Apple Store that it will also fit my 3 years old Macbook.
    At home it really fit my Macbook but it didn't charge. Nothing happened, no light. How can that be? Then I combined the two, the end for the socket of the new power adapter and the other part where you put it into the computer of my old power adapter. Now it charges. So is the problem after all the part where you put it into the computer of the new power adapter that looks different now?
    Or what can I try now?
    Thank you for help!
    Sorry for my bad English.

  • Power Adapter for 17" MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (Mid 2009)

    I'm curious to know if i can use a power adapter from an older 17" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz (Mid/Late 2007) with a brand new 17" MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (Mid 2009). Both are 85w i believe - but i wasn't sure about the new battery with this new computer.
    Thanks

    i would like to say, power adapters are of no tricks. They just provide voltage, current, and also the quality of them. When i say quality, it means how stable they can provide. All good functioning power adaptors should have an acceptable quality. So this is not a concern.
    Then, what is going on with the "power"? No matter how many watts, there are _*no differences*_. What you have to consider is: unless it cant boot up your system, or it is not capable to charge while you are working (lower watt will just charge slower), or it has some serious problems when you are doing some high energy consuming tasks (like playing 3D games, video converting). Otherwise, the power adaptor is said to be providing enough power, and nothing to be worried about =]

  • Replacement power adapter for 2008 MacBook Pro

    Does anybody know if you can get a replacement power adaptor for the 2008 MacBook Pro. Mine crapped out and I'm freaking because the one they have for sale does not look like it will work, help PLEASE!!!!

    If I think I know what your saying, it sounds like the store only had the Magsafe 2 connectors for the new model Macbook Pro's. The good news is yes stores still sell both Magsafe 1 and Magsafe 2 adapters. My advice would be to just take your adapter into the store and show the sales person what you need.

  • What is the recommeded automobile power adapter for a macbook air?

    subject says it all.

    Hi Ross,
    As there's no official "Apple branded" model, you're looking at 3rd party solutions.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW696LL/A
    Kensington makes one that's pretty good, I've used it. I will add, that all the reviews that complain about the fan noise are spot on. It's pretty noisy but it's certainly not something that a little radio/XM/CD can't handle.

  • Is this the right power adapter for an 11" MBA?

    My wife has an 11" MBA with model number A1370. The battery is dead so I can't check the exact model identifier. The thin cable on the power adapter has worn out where it enters the brick (which is incredible since she never ever wraps the cable around the brick) so she needs a new adapter.
    This Dutch Apple Store page has three that look similar to hers, which has the L-shaped magsafe. Am I right in believing that the 45W version will fit all A1370 models?
    Many TIA

    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.

  • New 60w power adaptor won't work on MBP 13 late 2011?

    I recently bought a new 60w power adaptor from the Apple Store to charge my late 2011 MBP 13. It seems to allow the MBP to run but won't charge the battery, LED light doesn't come on at all. If I plug the new charger into my 2010 Macbook it does charge and LED works as normal. If I then plug it back into the MBP the orange light will stay on for about 30 seconds then turn off, no green at the start as usual. Apple Support says I've bought the correct charger, is it a dud? What's going on?

    Correct, it is not MagSafe 2. I used the new charger this morning to charge an older Mac, then plugged it in again to my MBP and it worked normally. I charged the computer fully and unplugged it. After an hour of use I plugged it in again and got nothing from the new charger as before. The computer does respond to an older MagSafe charger, still L shaped and 60w and the new charger does work normally with two older MacBooks. Should I have bought a MagSafe2? Info is posted below. Thanks, Bill

  • Could I have got a new power adapter for free?

    My power adapter for my mac stopped working recently and as far as I know I didn't cause any damage to it myself.
    I read the following on the apple website:
    Additional Information
    Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.
    Which seems to suggest that even out of warrenty, if the charger has broken of it's own accord you can still get a free replacement?
    I took my adapter and mac to the shop, they said there were no signs of accidental damage but said I still have to pay for it. I referred to this statement from the website but they were very dismissive and kept saying it was out of warrenty. Perhaps i'm reading the statement wrongly.
    Just wondered if anyone could clarify :-)

    As you indicated, it depends on the results of the evaluation.
    Apple takes responsibility when design faults cause certain failures, especially when it represents a safety concern. There have been a small number of cases where failure met certain characteristics that Apple deemed that it should not have happened, regardless of age or use.
    I am reluctant to indicated the specificity of some of these issues, because for many reasons Apple would not want us speculating on the subject. Suffice it to say your product failure may not have met any particular characteristics associated with failures deemed to have extended coverage.
    If your product failed for an unknown reason, or apparently a failure stemming from age or normal life expectancy use, and it was after the normal expiry of warranty, then no further consideration was given. You need to buy and pay for a new one, unless you yourself, can provide extenuating circumstances to consider.

  • 60W Power Adapter - UK compatible?

    Hey guys, I have a quick question that I'm sure most of you would be able to answer, I hope.
    I am bringing my laptop from the US to the United Kingdom and was wondering if my 60W adapter for my macbook pro would work?
    Also, in the same note, should I buy plug converters to make the adapter fit the electrical outlets over there?
    Thank you so much!

    Yes, it will work in most any country, but you may need a plug adapter for the power outlets.

  • New USB Power Adapter includes cable

    I just got caught and hope this advice helps others...
    The original USB iPod power adapter did NOT include a USB-to-dock cable. I just ordered the NEW USB power adapter and the extra cable. Guess what - it now includes the cable!

    Did you find a solution Raf SR?
    I have a similar problem. After initial (updating/restoring) issues with my ipod mini which I won't bore you with, I got it working and charging successfully through my PC via the USB cable. Then I bought a USB power adapter for when I am away from my PC. When I connected my ipod to the power adapter it did the brief "do not disconnect" thing then "OK to disconnect" with no attempt to charge. I left it overnight and the following morning it had the battery/triangle/exclamation mark symbol and I had to reset the ipod to get it to work (I did this while still connected to the power adapter).
    I borrowed a friend's firewire power adapter and that worked fine. I went back to the store and swapped my usb power adapter for another (firewire power adapter wasn't available) and it did the same as the first one. The ipod still charges fine via the PC and usb cable.
    I don't get it! Can anyone help? Thanks

  • TS1713 I need to purchase a new Portable Power Adapter which has a barrel type connection.  The one I have is not working.

    I need to purchase a new portable power adapter which has a barrel connector. Can not locate a new power adapter on the web site. Went through the troubleshooting, it is definitely not charging. Any one have info on this?

    You can buy from Apple. Or other vendors, such as Amazon.
    Check the wattage - it is printed on the side of the charger. Do not buy a lower wattage.
    Here's one. Note this is not an endorsement, only an example.
