Is the power cord covered under warrenty?

Is the power adapter covered under Apple Care?

I wrap the cord on my power adapter about twice per day going between home, school, and work. Consequently, the power cord has begun to fray where it comes out of the white power supply. Is a replacement power supply covered under Apple Care?

Dorianj,
I would be interested to hear what Apple says regarding warranty coverage for your power supply. I had a slight, but annoying, problem with my Powerbook G4 adapter where the two-pronged wall adapter would not stay rigidly straight in the wall socket. Result was that it would slide out of the wall socket and lose its connection. I called Apple under my extended Applecare warrantly and they said that a replacement (only $10 anyway, but still...) was not covered as the problem was related to my use and handling. The tech on the phone conceded that if I had said that the adapter wasn't working it could have been replaced under the warranty. Of course he said he couldn't change the information on my "case" once that was entered.
Hope this experience is hellpful and please post back on your results.

HT1941 is the power adapter covered under apple care?

mine seems to have frayed over time. The computer is still under apple care.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If it came with your Mac, it's covered by AppleCare, so Apple will replace it for free if the power adapter is broken

HT4619 What is the hole under the power cord for?

Wondering how to turn my iMac back on after a power surge. Happened once before and was able to reset it by unplugging cord, holding down start button, then reattaching power cord and pressing the start button again. This only worked when I took it to the Mac outlet store though. When I try this, it doesn't work. Outlets and power source (aps) have power. Trying to avoid a trip with my 27" iMac to the store.
is the hole under the power cord a reset?
Thanks

Deborah,
Here are the specific steps for performing a SMC reset just so it's clear (note bolded bits):
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Dave
P.S. If this doesn't work, repeat the process again only bypassing your APS conditioner completely this time using a standard AC wall outlet for testing/powering your mac. The APS unit may have an internal fault of some sort.

Are power adapters covered under the protection plan?

Are power adapters covered under the protection plan, or should I just go to a store and buy a new one?

Yes they are. Call Apple and talk to them and as long as your under warranty you should be OK

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

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

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?
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.0.x)

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].

Broken power cord - covered by Apple-Care?

Hello, all.
Last night my power cord decided to abruptly stop working. Upon closer examination, I noticed that the flexible, plastic casing directly posterior to the rigid, plastic piece [that houses the pin] appeared to be showing signs of stress. I found this odd, seeing as how I'm terribly careful with my computer - the only thing I could assume was that perhaps, during one of my recent travels, the power cord had been packed in such a way that compromised the integrity of the plastic.
Still, I'm surprised that something that benign would cause it to stop working.
After wiggling it gently for several minutes, I found myself perched precariously on the edge of my chair, not wanting to move for fear of disrupting the fragile connection I had created.
Needless to say, this is not going to work for very long.
I was wondering if the iBook power cords are covered by the plan?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Not usually (unless it just quits working without signs of wear).
"Accident or abuse" is not covered under AppleCare, and this would likely be considered to be one or the other.
With that in mind, nothing ventured, nothing gained. It will only take a bit of your time and a phone call to AppleCare to find out for certain whether they will replace it for you.

Power brick covered under AppleCare?

I'm having some odd issues that seem to be the fault of my power brick (but who knows?). If I leave my PowerBook G4 1.67 Ghz machine plugged in for 10+ hours or so, the computer will stop recognizing that it has power. The light goes out from the ring where the cord plugs into my powerbook, and the battery slowly drains if the machine isn't asleep.
Unplugging and plugging back in the power cord doesn't work. The only thing that works is unplugging the power cord from my surge protector and plugging that back in. Or, removing the brick extension cord and reattaching it to the brick.
Has anyone had similar problems and/or know if the brick is covered under AppleCare?

the power unit is covered by the same warranty/applecare cover that applies to the device it came with
from your description imho it is more likely that the power unit is faulty than that a fault with the pb is causing it to shut down

My laptop turns off when i remove the power cord

I have a Pavilion dv7-6c27cl running windows 7 (64 bit). Everytime I remove my laptop from the power cord, it shuts down immdiently. The battery says that it is at 77% and charging. I don't know what wrong at all. The light on the side is orange. Ideas on what's wrong and how to fix it?

It has to be a battery problem....I am getting that it just sits at 77% and never goes higher or lower? If you are still in warranty, the battery is covered (up to 1 year, I think), and if not you need to buy yourself a new battery. If by some chance you could try another known good battery that would be helpful but that seems unlikely.

Macbook air works only when connected to the power cord. Battery condition: replace now.

i have MacBook Air
OSX 10.9.4
Processor 1.7 GHz Intel core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Computer does not start without power supply and stops when the power cord is disconnected.
The battery condition: Replace Now
what do i do now?

If you're still under Apple Care, it will probably be done for free.
You left no clues as to the model of your MacBook Air, so we don't know its age.

Trouble connecting the magnetic end of the power cord

hello,
when I hook the magnetic end of the power cord to my MBP, I have to 'play' with the connection so that the power goes throught.
I have to push, pull, tork, lift etc... the magnetic end so that finally the green or red light lights up.
I was just annoying at first but now, I can't alway have power, the whole thing got terrible sensible.
Do you think the cord is the problem or is it the receiving port on the mac?
What can I do?
Thanks.

Apple is supposedly very good about replacing the MagSafe's, even out of warranty.
But if they don't, then you might be able to use a nail file to sand down some of the plastic, and buff the metal a tiny bit on the (disconnected from the power please), metal contacts to remove a very slight covering of oxidation that occurs.
I have to go around and do that to my coax cable every few years or the TV and internet reception gets flakey.

Have a G3 pismo, works great, but when I plug in the power cord, the light won't come on to indicate its charging. It is charging, and the battery is good, its just that the light won't come on. Could it be something with the backup battery?

I have a G3 bronze keyboard that works, with a good battery, but when the power supply is plugged in, the charging light on the back of the laptop
will not come on. It is charging however, and have two different apple power adapters and both will charge the main battery, it's just that the light won't come on.
Did a reset of the pmu, but no changes. The date stays current, but wondering if the backup battery could be getting weak and affecting it , or is something else going on?

The power connector in the G3 PowerBook is a weak link. Removed, it looks like this:
[image from http://microdocusa.com/specials.html ]
The connector probably hasn't failed, but the solder joints where "legs" on the connector attached to the logic/power board are under a lot of stress after 10 years of use. Little bumps and tugs on the power cord eventually degrade the connection. You can check for looseness easily---see if the connector feels loose when you GENTLY wiggle it with a fingertip. It should have zero play if it's still firmly attached. You can also plug in the power adaptor and see if slight movements if the plug make the light turn on. Pretty diagnostic of a loose connector.
The date stays current,
Make sure you are doing this check correctly. If you have an always-on internet connection, the date/time are fed froma network time server and will always read properly unless you test with the internet connect turned off or disconnected.

Is the power adapter covered in the 3year extended Apple Care?

Is the power adapter covered in the 3year extended Apple Care?
I've only had my MacBook Pro around 18 months and the power adapter has split (exposed wires) even though the charger has never left the house and has stayed plugged into the same plug socket every since i've had it.
Is this something Apple would fix/replace under the 3 year expended Apple Care Warranty I have paid for?

You could call and ask considering your description.
