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

    Took apart Macbook pro 13 to remove broken headphone tip in the jack. Had to remove battery to get to the headphone jack. Now the laptop won't start. The power button is just not responding. Battery indicator showed charge of 3 dots initially but now only the last dot is blinking. The power cable used to light up green initially but now the green light is gone. I have tried SMC reset, which didn't work. What are my options?

  • Does a usb cab to 60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist

    does a usb cable
    does a Usb cable to60 Watt L-Tip Power Adapter charger for Apple MacBook Pro Laptop Charger exist? i have an external battery pack i would like to use to charge my iphone and macbook pro.

    Not that I am aware of.  An Internet search on your part will be required.  If you should find something to that effect, note it will not be endorsed by Apple and the magnetic connector will probably be in violation of Apple patents.

  • Transfer of mini-DV tapes from Panasonic NV-GS120 to MacBook Pro via FireWire port (9-pin)

    I am new to Mac and love it. I would like to transfer my old mini-DV tapes from Panasonic NV-GS120 to my MacBook Pro via FireWire port (9-pin), but am not sure which port to use on the video camera. Reading from the top on the Panasonic video camera there are three options: a "mini-usb" port, a "remote/mic (plug in power)" [not likely] and finally a "A/V out phones" jack entry [which I use for viewing the tapes on the TV screen via the jack cable ending up in a red, yellow and white cable to plug into TV.
    I have read Bengt Wärleby's excellent instructions and am ready to buy the FireWire cable (9-pin in one end - Mac), but I am not sure if it is the mini-usb or jack-stick exit of the video camera. Or, indeed, if there is talk about an external A/V box needed to decode and transfer the digital tapes to iMovie on the Mac.
    Any clarification is highly appreciated. Thanks for all suggestions.

    The port you're looking for is the DV Port (in your manual it's marked as control component #55). I looked up your camera and it does have it. That's the port where the firewire should fit. Hope to have helped you.

  • Can I use a 2009 iMac as external display for 2007 macbook pro with DVI port only

    I have a late 2009 imac with minidisplay port and  a 2007 macbook pro with DVI port. I connected a mini diaplay port to DVI cable but all I get on the imac is a blank screen when I press F2. Can I use the imac this way?

    I'm not sure if it works with DVI but your late 2009 must be a 27". Try Command-F2 or Copmmand-Fn-F2

  • Using MacBook Pro while charged?

    Hey
    I've got a 2010 15" MacBook Pro - just bought in September - and its awesome.
    Got a question though. Will using the MacBook Pro when charged fully, so theres a green light on the MagSafe Adapter, decrease battery life/health?
    Thanks.

    No. It's fine to leave it plugged in 95% of the time if that's most convenient for you. Just don't leave it plugged in 100% of the time: us it on battery power for an hour or two every day or two.

  • My 2014 Macbook Pro's charger is not secure. It flicked out while closing the laptop and cracked the screen, is this something apple will repair as its the chargers fault?

    I have a 2014 15" Retina display Macbook Pro.
    Moving on from my 13" 2012 Macbook Pro the charger on the 2014 model isn't as good and keeps flicking out, and not staying in place.
    Unfortunately it flicked out on its own at the wrong point, when I was closing the screen. This resulted in the screen cracking!! Because this is a fault with the Macbook's charger that has cracked my screen, will apple cover it and replace my screen?
    If not does anyone know how much screen replacements cost at apple?
    I have applecare but screen damage does not cover it.
    Thanks guys!

    There's no one from Apple here, so we can't advise you on what it would cost to replace the screen. You should just take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP (making an appointment first) and get and estimate for replacement.
    I doubt that Apple will fix the screen gratis - they will likely pin it down to a user accident. If you can actually demonstrate that it's the fault of the adapter, you may get a break.
    Good luck,

  • My Macbook pro didn't come with any restore disks, How can I make some?

    I was just curious, Macs and Macbooks used to include restore disks. My new Macbook Pro did not come with any so how do I create a set?

    Though these instructions are for Mt. Lion, they will work for Mavericks as well.  Making one one of these will free you from depending upon Apple servers if the need should arise.

  • I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers?

    I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers? My mac seems to be running a bit off.

    To delete any type of app you need to open the Finder window and highlight the app you want to delete by moving it to the trash. Empty the trash and it's gone. There are some Apple provided apps that cannot be deleted but you should not have any issue with the games.
    As for cleaners, I personally don't use them but the 911 and Mackeeper are very popular and I hear work pretty well with Macs.
