Lost power adapter cover

does anyone know where to get a replacement cap/cover for the power adapter? i lost mine.
powerbook g4 12-in. Mac OS X (10.4.6)

not quite sure I understand, but...
your problem is probably one that all powerbook users experience. The power plug that connects to our laptops get frayed and stop working. Apple has addressed this problem with their new MagSafe magnetic adapters.
There isn't much you can do except purchase a new power plug. Apple will charge you close to 100$ for a new one. You should either look on eBay or go to Fry's electronics and buy a generic one. I purchased a white one from Logitech (I think) that only cost 40 dollars.
Good luck!

You'll need a 90W adapter. See an example here: click me!

Lost power adapter HP Pavilion 23XI monitor

I recently moved, and I think I may have misplaced the AC adapter for my monitor. I tried searching online and I can't find the model number of the AC adapter, and there don't seem to be any replacement AC adapters for sale.
Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance

Hi randomguy123. If you want to try searching for the AC Adapter, you should try the part number "C3Z94AA" in: HP PartSurfer. It looks like the power cord is available or purchase (possibly), but not specifically the AC Adapter.
If you cannot find what you are looking for, you should contact support to see if they can find you the part you are looking for. HP Technical Support, North America 1-800-474-6836. For all other regions click here.
I hope this helps.

85w Magsafe Power Adapter Plastic cover

THe 85w Magsafe Power adapter comes with a plastic protective cover for the magnetic DC connector . I lost mine. Does anyone know if Apple or anyone else sells it. Im just really bothered by it. Plus I dont want dust to accumulate on the magnetic DC connector.

Retired Engineer wrote:
The magnet is in the MBP not in the connector on the AC adapter.
i'm not really sure about that. I wish you could just answer my query and be helpful. Or correct me and at the same time offer a solution or answer to the question. That would really help. Don't post if you don't want to help.
But for arguments sake. According to:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=816 A0BD3&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/power&nplm=MA938LL/A#overview
"The 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter features a MAGNETIC DC CONNECTOR that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the MAGNETIC DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.
plus, this apple page:
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/design.html
says that,
"Innovative right down to the power cord._The MacBook Pro power adapter with MagSafe connector is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one._"
I dont know, maybe the mbp connector has a magnet also, but im very sure according to apple the 85w Magsafe adapter has a magnet.
Anyway, it doesnt really matter to me where the magnet is. As long as it magnetically connects.

Hi,
I've lost my power adapter(ultracompact) that came with iphone 3G. However I have an old apple USB power adapter that I used for charging my ipods. When I checked the online apple store I saw that there are two different power adapters. The bigger one, which I use for charging the ipods, is not said to be compatible with iphone 3G although it is for 1st generation iphone 1st generation. Is it still possible to use the older adapter or do I have to pay for new one? Thanks.

You can still use the charger if it is USB. If you find the other one though, Apple is starting the ultracompact USB exchange program on Friday. If you have an old one that came with an iphone 3g, you can bring it in with your iphone and they will exchange it for free. They are doing this because some of the metal tongs have gotten stuck in electrecal outlets.

How long is dose apple cover the power adapter?

I got a macbook pro one year and one week ago, and today the power adapter part that can come off the brick, broke, like it just came unglued? so the brick is ok and the part that pulgs in the wall is not .... so does anyone know ?

It's got the same warranty as you MBP. One year if you have the standard warranty else 3 years if you purchased and activated an AppleCare extended warranty plan.
I would call AppleCare ASAP in any case as warranty cover has been known to "shift" a little from your actual purchase date. Every day you wait the less likely you are to get away with it (if you were able to at all).

Does the warranty cover the power adapter?

Lately my power adapter's light has been cutting in and out. Tonight I noticed it's frayed where the cable meets the input of the adapter. I'm wondering if the adapter is covered under Apple's warranty. I have Apple Care.
Furthermore, the battery also doesn't seem to be holding much of a charge these days. The computer is about two years old and the battery only has about 55 minutes of life fully charged. Is the battery covered under the warranty?

Hi,
Neither is covered. The frayed cable would be considered damage which is not covered. And the battery is a consumable item and is only covered for the first year. The average life of a lithium ion battery is about 2 years so it's time for a new one.
John

If you lose the power adapter is that covered under AppleCare?

I lost my power adapter and cord and I have AppleCare. Will apple cover and if they do will it fulfill my contract and make me in eligible for any further service using the replacent plan.

Exactly. Here is a link to the Apple Accessories site for iPad. The charger is $30.

AC Power Adapter issue with new (refurbished) ibook...

I just got my refurbished ibook today and went to plug it in and test it, and then wanted to charge the battery on it. At first I thought it wasn't doing anything when I went to turn it on (it made the starting sound but the power button didn't turn on or anything), but then after trying a couple times, I noticed that the black screen had a faint image of an apple on it. I had the screen too far to the front for me to see it clearly (as it's an lcd screen) and later when setting my preferences, I had noticed the brightness was just too dim which I adjusted...
So the power button never did glow when it was turned on (at least I didn't notice it after I got it booted up). My adapter's plug fits loosely in the socket on the laptop but still glows green, but all the time... Isn't it supposed to glow orange when charging??? Well I was setting up everything and did my power management settings as well, and as I have it set up to show me my battery level on the desktop, I was noticing that it was depleting (at what I would guess is a normal pace for my current settings), it started off around 83% and had gone down to 58% or so after about 1 and a half hours with highest settings basically. But my power adapter was plugged in the whole time... Shouldn't it be using my AC power and not the battery's?
So I turned it off and now it is sitting there (hopefully charging), but that little green light on the adapter where it plugs into the laptop is just that, still green...
Does all this mean that there is a problem with the power adapter and its ability to actually charge my laptop? I got this refurbished (from TigrfDirect) with a 1 year warranty (from Apple) so this should be covered, but as I just received the thing today, I really don't want to have to deal with a messed up AC Adapter...
Also, I haven't even yet checked the battery itself to see what # it is and if it is one of the ones that is part of the recall or not... I would hate to have to do that and not have a working AC Adapter, though of course if the adapter is't working, I can't charge the thing anyways, so I guess I would have to wait another few weeks with dealing with Apple and the warranty issues anyways.
I looked in the help section and the only suggestion they had for if your battery doesn't charge is to take it out and put it back in and then attach the adapter again. I guess I could do that at the same time I check on the battery's recall status, I just hate opening my computer up as soon as I get it. Also the battery cover is not totally flush with the rest of the case, one corner sticks up a bit, and I think it was a replaced item as it doesn't have the little LED lights that the computer says should be there to tell me how much the battery is charged (unless this is UNDER the cover for some reason, but the cover is bright white compared to the rest of the ibook coloring, so it seems as it was just a basic replacement cover used)...
Ok, so thanks for any input you might have. I will let people know in a couple hours if the ibook has actually charged at all during that time or not...

So I did the reset button thing and it didn't do anything at all... If I plug in the power adapter without the battery the laptop will not turn on at all, so I am guessing that it definitely is the adapter and will have to contact Apple to somehow get a new one. Oh great, tomorrow's Friday and isn't this a holiday weekend? Which means it will probably take even longer to get them to send me a replacement adapter... You think that buying a refurbished mac would mean that they would have tested out all the parts/components first before reselling it...
And so while I was at it, I checked on my battery's model # and serial # and it is one of the ones on the recall list. I think I was right that it had been replaced (now that I know that the battery is part of the back cover) which would probably explain the recall battery as this is one of the older ibooks and should have been one of the lucky ones made before the ones on the list... I did get to see the lights (only 3 though) flash solid green for about 3 seconds when replacing the battery back into the laptop.
One good thing did come out of this... As I was taking the keyboard out to find the computers serial # (I already filled out my form for the new battery), I was surprised to see an Airport card. Not that it would have surprised me too much in the first place except that it wasn't listed in the details/parts list when I bought the laptop. It was also listed that my laptop had a 10GB hard drive (while the picture on the website showed a 30GB one). The box it came in said 30GB as well, but I just dismissed that. I had went to see how much space I had left on the HD to see that it had 13.99GB and this is after any formatting, and the install of OS 10.2.8 including OS 9.2.2... So a few added bonuses to help make up for the fact that it is NOT is as good shape as I was expecting (or should be to even be sold as a refurb IMO), and the fact that the AC adapter is completely faulty.
I just hope that I can get a new AC Adapter soon, so that I can at least be able use my laptop with some kind of power until the new replacement battery shows up. This must be some kind of terrible joke. I get the laptop to be able to use it for a few hours and then have it be without ANY kind of power for posibly up to 2 months? I seem to have the worst luck with Macs, which makes it strange as I have never had any problems with all the PC's I have ever used (and I started using computers when I was 4) but I have now had an imac die (possibly the HD), an Apple studio monitor start flashing on the screen possibly due to connector problems, and now this (and all within 2 months). I am almost ready to just give up, but I have spent too much time and money on all this mac stuff (and all for my obsession with OS X) to do it just yet.
So please tell me macs aren't always this horrible, or else I will have to make up my own commercials where PCs are better because at least they turn on and boot up for more than 1 week (I think I had the imac working for about 5 days total before it would boot with errors).
Or some kind soul could also mail me a working AC Adapter that would work with my ibook (if you happen to have a spare), so I could get to do more on it other than changing it's settings... I now only have 40% battery life left. I don't think I should even turn it on again as the boot up alone would drain away too much precious juice...

HP Docking Station EN488AA - part number for power adapter

Hi,
I have a HP Compaq nx8220 notebook, with a HP Docking Station (EN488AA).
Unfortunately I have lost the power supply for the docking station.
I still have the power supply for the notebook itself (393955-001) but it does not plug in to the docking station. It is the correct voltage but only 90W instead of 120W, and the connector is the wrong size.
I've been looking online for the part number for the correct replacement power supply for the dock, but became very confused when I found sites advertising the same replacement part for both the nx8220 and the EN488AA when clearly they are different because the plugs don't match. None specify the plug size so I don't know which is which.
Can anyone help me identify the correct replacement part? Or better still, is there a plug adapter available so I can use my existing power supply for the dock too?
Attached are two photos - the plug from the power adapter next to the inlet of the notebook (fits) and the dock (doesn't fit).
Thanks,
EddieD97

The pin in picture looks liek a 5mm pin and one one on docking station is a smart pin. So you would need something like the one in picture in this link.
In the picture observe the component in left hand bottom corner.

I would say, take the adaptor to store and get one.

Wire that goes from 90W Power Adapter a1097 to apple cinema hd display

We lost the wire that goes from the 90W Power Adapter a1097 to the Apple Cinema HD Display. Where could I purchase another one and what is the name of this wire?

The wire that comes from the power supply is tethered, meaning non-detachable, so I don't see how it can be lost. Or maybe I am misunderstanding. Is it the AC cord that is missing, e.g. the one that goes into the wall? That should be a normal IEC 320 C13, which is commonly available. You don't need the Apple one.

Here is the official part number for the power adapter.
If you just need the power cord for the power adapter you should be able to find that at a second hand electronics shop. It is a Power cord (Black) - 3-wire conductor, 18 AWG, 1.8m (6.0ft) long - Has straight (F) C5 receptacle (for 120V in North America). I have always thought of it as an almost proprietary HP power plug. Even old HP printers have them.
The following image is what a C5 connector looks like.The end that plugs into the house current receptacle varies by country.

Using iBook G3 without battery - power adapter only

I would like to use my iBook G3 without the battery - just with the power adapter plugged in. I've tried starting up with the power plugged in and the battery removed, and no luck. Removing the battery with the power plugged in shuts down the computer.
I have an old battery that doesn't hold charge anymore and needs replacing. I use this computer from home 99.9% of the time and I'd rather not have a hot battery on my lap. Any thoughts or suggestions? I KNOW it's possible to do this as I've always seen demo models in stores set up this way. I have a relatively new adapter - the one that looks like an airport, not like a flying saucer.

Theoretically, it should work, yes. Have you tried resetting the PMU?
However, I strongly recommend against running with no battery for a couple of reasons.
First of all, even a mostly dead battery usually will hold enough of a charge to save your projects you're working on if the iBook is accidentally unplugged.
Next, if Apple had really intended using the iBook this way, they would have provided a battery hatch cover. As it is, using the iBook with no battery in place would subject the terminals to dust, lint, and debris. Needless to say, this is not good.
Apple has never really called its portables "laptops." They are not designed to run on your lap, but on a hard surface. I know most of us use them on our laps, but these days, I use one of these, which my son bought me for Mother's Day. I use it folded in half, and use the foot to prop up the back so that my iBook is kept cooler than it would be otherwise. It works great.
If the heat bothers you, it probably bothers your iBook, too. You may want to look into a similar solution. One long-time Apple user has suggested an inexpensive acrylic cutting board as a lap desk, and that would work fine, too. I don't recommend running without the battery, though, even if you could manage to do it.
