MacBook Charger Port broken?

So recently I purchased a 13" MacBook pro. Unfortunately... my charger somehow crushed one of the pins of the charger port and now my MacBook won't charge.
At the top of my Mac, it says "Not Charging" and no matter what way you move the charger it won't charge because of that one crushed pin.
Can this be fixed? Or will I have to forever have this broken MacBook that I can't take anywhere because I can't use it unless it's plugged in....
Oh and I have the 3 year warrenty.

If you can't charge it then you need to take it to Apple and get the socket fixed, once your battery goes flat that's the end of any use so there's no point trying to struggle on this way.

  • MacBook pro 13" charger port broken any tips to repair?

    Hey guys, I have a mid 2010 MacBook pro and the charger port has broken and won't take any charge at all. There's 5 little pins inside the port and pin 1 and pin 5 seem to have had the caps taken off them or something. I'm unsue what the cause was but can anyone tell me if this is repairable? And how much it's likely to cost?

    If you have AppleCare the repairs will be covered under its warranty.  However, if the repair techs consider the damage "accidental" you will be responsible for the cost of the repairs.
    No one here can tell you how much it will cost.  You will need to ask the repair shop about the cost and/or provide you with an estimate. 
    If you do not have AppleCare and want to DIY, do a Google search, research YouTube's "How To" video tutorials and Do-It-Yourself Laptop Repair 

  • Blackberry Torch Charger Port broken, battery drained?

    My charging port is somewhat broken  on my blackberry torch (I have to put the charger at a certain angle for it to charge and readjust every few minutes). I wa sjust wondering if there is anything I can buy that would let me charge just the battery and not have to go through the usb port.
    Also, I was able to fully charge my phone, and I turned it off for the night, but when I turned it back on, the battery was almost completely drained! Is my battery discharged? (Ive had my phone for about a year) 

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    RIM provides zero front line support to end users, including warranty...all support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into RIM at no charge to the end user...the specific place to seek warranty support varies by region, but you should have received documentation, when you originally obtained your BB, as to what your warranty level is and how to seek support.
    If your original service provider was also your original place of purchase, then I'm pretty sure they should still service your warranty for the hardware itself...but I'm not quite positive on that point...it seems logical, but they told you they will not help you...maybe you need to escalate with them beyond their front line folks and to someone in management who can properly evaluate your situation.
    There also might be some good reading here:

  • N97 charger port broken

    I am in desperate need of help.... just broke the USB charging port on my phone and need a replacement. I called Nokia and since the phone is out of warranty they will not repair it even if I was willing to pay. I have tried to search online for replacement parts but unsure what part is the correcet replacement as some company doesnt list any picture of the product or if its pictured its not the same as my phone....
    Appreciate any help provided.....
    thanks
    Tony

    @danspy: I would call or form a complaint to Nokia uk explaining the situation. Writing an objective letter/mail or call them might help you out.
    I've experienced my self that a Nokia care point has done similar to my N95 8gb I had in the past. A quick call with a decent tone, made them recall the device and fix it again with no further questions.
    I actually experienced once that there where sesame seeds in under the lince protective glass on it from one of the repair guys' lunch!
    Mostly I've only had pleasant experience with Nokia care points.
    Make a call or form a objective complaint. You might try to use the contact us button on the top of this page too. My suggestion is that you wait with any rant before you've got the first response.
    Cheers!

  • V5 572 Charger port broken

    Hi All, UK owner here. I've had my V5-572 for a couple of months now, but this morning when I went to plug my laptop into charge, I noticed that the connection was physically very loose, it used to 'click' in but now it can easily just fall out. Also, I have to wiggle the charger around to get a good electrical connection and get the thing charging. By eye, it looks like it's the thin metal pin on the laptop inside the charging port that is off-centre and could be almost snapped off. Obviously this is not ideal, does anyone know if this is covered in my warrenty and if so, how long does the repair process take? Thanks a lot.

  • Dropped MacBook, charger port tilting inwards, not charging.

    I accidently dropped my MacBook on the side where all the ports are and the port where the MagSafe charger goes into has been pushed inwards. Now when I plug it in, the light is very dim and the MacBook says 'Not charging'. I know it's not the charger because I have tried both my brothers chargers and it didn't work. Do I have to send it to Apple or is there something I can do?
    (Sorry if this is in the wrong topic)

    Were you able to fix this? Sorry, but something like this just happened to me and I need some answers. Please let me know.

  • MacBook USB port broken. Need to backup through Windows PC.

    Since my situation is a bit complicated I will be starting off with some background information:
    I currently own a MacBook Pro 15inch (mid 2010) 2.4GHz, Intel Core i5, 4GB (running OS X 10.8.5)
    My USB ports haven't worked in 2 years (I assume that i must of over powered them) however, when I insert my USB powered speakers into one of the two USB ports it powers them, and with the use of an AUX I am able to transmit the sound BUT my MacBook is still not able to recognize any other USB or external hard drive device. Still not sure why only my speakers receive power through the technically broken USB ports so if anyone can offer any insight on this, that would be great.
    Moving on to the main problem:
    So I want to format and reinstall the software on my MacBook BUT FIRST I need to backup. Since my USB ports wont work I've tried to find other solutions. (Don't want to buy an AirPort Time Capsule).
    I've tried the Belkin Network USB Hub but since it's software only supports up to OS X 10.5 It would not work on my device.
    I have FINALLY found a convenient and cheap solution by setting up File sharing network (from my Mac to my old Vista, PC) and purchased My Passport Ultra.
    The plan is to send my files to the PC and from there to save them onto the external hard drive (and then send them back to my Mac). Sounds easy HOWEVER, after some research I've noticed that in order to get My Passport to work with Mac and PC you have to reformat it (not sure if you have to format on both platforms in order to be able to use on both as well), so I have the following questions:
    1. Since My Passport wont connect to my Mac is there anyway of formatting the external hard drive through Windows and still be able to use with Mac? (if not I can always format the external hard drive on a friends Mac)
    2. I won't need to open the files on Windows, the PC is simply a gateway in order for me to get the files onto a hard drive, so do I still need to format it to work on Windows? Will the files still be usable when sent back to the Mac?
    I have tried to explain my situation as simply as possible but if anyone has any questions or is unsure of something I have mentioned please ask. I want to avoid buying anymore devices in order to do this, so any solutions in which I can use what I have would be much appreciated. I cannot go to an Apple store as I no longer live in the UK and we do not have an Apple store here.
    If anyone knows of another way to get the files on to My Passport (other than what I'm trying to do) I am open to discussion. Thanks in advance

    I have to move my chord a specific place or push it in a different way each time to get the connection to charge my playbook. i've been informed it most likely needs to be sent in to be soldered to be fixed... i don't know where to contact anywhere to send it in or anything! help!!!

    Just for future reference, and sanity invest in a rapid charger to prevent this problem. Since the rapid charger uses the magnetic contacts.

    I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
    I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.

  • Broken Charging Port

    Hi,
    I am with Bell. Last year i had boughten my first bb in April, a blackberry Style.
    Four months later the charging port broke. First it started off that I needed to have the cable on a certain angle to charge then it stopped working altogether.
    I sent my phone away to be repaired and it was returned "un repairable" and "damage was caused due to dropping" which was absolutely not true being that I am incredibly careful with my devices and I kept a hard case on it that I went to the states specifically for and also only had it for 4 months!
    Needless to say I was furious with this answer, especially since Blackberry or Bell did notthing but tell me I needed to buy a new one because it was not covered in my warranty.
    After my contract is up with Bell I will be switching to Rogers and possibly switching to Team IPhone (unfortunately) if i cannot find a good blackberry or a solution to my broken BB Style.
    Someone help me.

    Our BB Style had this same problem. We went to the store and were told it was probably corrosion in the battery terminal but because it was a BB it couldn't even be looked at in store and had to be sent out and would cost at least $100 to fix (even thought we pay Sprint $8/month for insurance).
    They were so interested in discouraging us to get it fixed and telling us that if it were water or something we would have to pay the full replacement value ($600) for the phone. He kept trying to sell us a new iPhone and their were no other BB phones to even demo in the store.
    We went to a Radio Shack and wound up getting a lower price iPhone but are upset that BB wasn't represented in almost any store and were told our insurance was worthless.
    Is this the type of relationship BB wants with its field sales force?
    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    It does sound like whoever you spoke to was very poorly trained. But do be advised that the shop you went to was not a RIM store...it was a Sprint store, and they are a separate entity from RIM. They contract to sell BBs and BB services, but they are not RIM. So, it sounds like, if you wish to pursue a complaint path, that path would be with Sprint, would it not?
    But, perhaps you wish for RIM to notice this issue...if that's your goal, I hope it's attained here. Just be aware that these forums are a user-to-user community, not a user-to/from-RIM formal communication channel.
    Good luck!

  • My Macbook pro charging adapter is fine, but when plugged into the charging port it needs to be pressed down to charge and buzzes.

    My charging adapter is fine but when I plug it into the charging port on the macbook it only works if I press down on it and it buzzes slightly. What is wrong and how much will it cost to fix?

    Check the charger connection to the MBP.  The pins are spring loaded and should be able to move freely.  Look into the charge port of the MBP and make certian that there is no dirt or debris inside.
    There should be NO noise when connected to the charger.  If so, bring the MBP and the charger for a FREE evaluation at an Apple store genius bar.
    Ciao.
