MagSafe adapter replacement program in Thailand?

Hi,
2 Hours ago I heard spark/ticking sound from the macsafe.
Instantly I unpluged it (a panic here) and then I saw the cord where it connected with the adapter has been torn and broken.
To confirm my bad luck, I plugged the power in again this time my runnig MBP shut it self down (more panic here). Many times, over 2 years my MBP has been foced to shutdown but this time it finally got me to think it might not start up again juding from PC experience usually when PSU went wrong the mother board also gone with it. Luckly I still can start it up but the date/time was reset to 2008. I searh for the magsafe failure and found a class action in 2009 for a free replacement.
Question:
- Is it free to get a replacement magsafe in Thailand?
A little info:
I visited them once for the tear and break to macsafe cord they said it's still working they can't do anyting.
The MBP was bought in Sydney,AU I'm living in Bangkok,TH
Any help would be most welcome

I have been to that page, but it seems to partially conflict the info at the adaptersettlement.com site it links to.
Apple page: "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."
Settlement page: "For Adapters shipped with a Subject Computer, you will have three years from the date of purchase of the Subject Computer or May 21, 2012, whichever is later, to claim a replacement adapter. ... If you do not claim a replacement adapter within these time periods, you will lose your right to obtain a replacement."

Apple's Adapter Replacement Program

Hello,
Im having trouble with my charger works sometimes and sometimes does not. I saw this article about Apple's Adapter Replacement Program (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4127).
I have an L type charger and bought my MBP in 2010. Am I eligible for this replacement?
Thanks

It's pretty clear here:
Resolution
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.

Apple's power adapter replacement program - U.S. only

Hello,
I have a macbook air.
Its power adapter has a L-shape, but I have the same problem because of strain relief.
I found that Apple's power adapter replacement program page on web, About Apple's Power Adapter Replacement Program -- U.S. only.
I think that the T-shape photo on web is just an example showing what strain relief.
When I visit the apple retail store and ask the program, they answered me that program is only available for T-shape power adapter.
is it correct? do I need to buy additional power adapter for my air?
Thank you,

Yes, that is correct.

Sony VAIO AC Power Adapter Replacement Program fails to ship replacement Ticket# E61281499

After repeatedly being told that this would be put on high priority, still nothing received. Defective, unsafe power brick on voluntary recall was to be replaced within seven business days starting 5/27/15. Several calls and several weeks later, still no results. What gives?????

Yes please. It would not take much effort to be more helpful than the help desk who appear to work in an isolated group unable to comunicate with the departments that actually do the work. - Cannot talk to a supervisor- Cannot get status on parts availability- Cannot find out if anyone is acyually doing anything- Not allowed to call other departments- And my favorite, "That system is down, call back later" I even had a help desk person suggest that since SONY can't find the part, just go to a local store, purchase the part and we promise to reimbuse you. Right now our part cross reference system is down so I do not know what part you should buy." I do not know what's up in your company but this is DEFINETLY not the powerhouse company I've known for the last half century. Another KODAK in the making?

AC adapter replacement program for M4402

Hi everone, me again. Miss me?
Given that my Pismo works absolutely fine now, the reason I am posting relating to the power pack is an obscure one. I recently stumbled across a page in the PowerBook G3 support area about replacing the M4402 power adaptors for G3 'Books. And I have just that adaptor.
The article:
http://depot.info.apple.com/exchange/
details that the M4402 packs, with two-prong power connectors, carry a danger of overheating. This would make my adaptor a candidate for replacement; it's a 1998 adaptor, and the article applies to PowerBooks manufactured between 1998 and March 2000.
However, I've discovered that my PowerBook was purchased on the 8th of March 2000, which puts it's manufacture dte at roughly 4th March (these things sold quickly!). The AC adaptor is most likely older than the laptop, but it's not being accepted as a replaceable item. Surely if there's a risk of the adaptor leaving a burn mark in my carpet or on my desk, then that risk should be removed? There've been six reported cases of just this happening.
Any input into this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rob Johnson

Hi cornelius,
Glad we got the age brackets sorted (ha ha). Well, the good news is that the yo-yo arrived today. The bad news? The IDIOTS (I use the term accurately) at Apple have sent me one with a TWO-PRONG POWER CABLE and I'm in the flippin' UK! I spend some considerable time arguing with technicians, and they send the wrong cable!
Fortunately for them, they sent the right yo-yo, and it works - I am, at least, graced by the presence of a ThinkPad T23 that uses the same clove-leaf power cable. But, now what do I do? It's been suggested that I cut the two-prong off and fit a UK plug, but that spoils the effect. The jiffy bag bears the 'Netherlands' address, which is a little strange to say the least.
So, what do I do now? Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks to everyone who posted,
Rob Johnson

Why does the sleep/wake button replacement program in Thailand take longer time?

It's already 2 weeks but the repair is not yet done.

Contact Apple for support and service
Any damage to the casing will invalidate any warranty or work carried out under this programme.

Replacement program for the Ipod Nano 1st generation

I am attempting to get to the replacement program for the Ipod Nano 1st generation, but whenever I attempt to access the program I am redirected to an adapter replacement program. Did I miss the opportunity to replace the Ipod?

No, you didn't. I just bought an iPod nano 1st gen off of Craigslist and immediatly I went to the iPod replacement program website and requested a new device. I just don't know if I will receive the older 6th Generation or the newer 7th generation.

Will apple replace the L shape MagSafe Adapter the pins are sticking causing late 2011 macbook not to receive charge.

Will apple replace the L shape MagSafe Adapter? The pins are sticking causing my late 2011 macbook not to receive charge.

Yes, Apple will replace it if you are still under warranty. Otherwise, as in my case, you will have to buy a new one.
I purchased my MacBook Air July of 2011. Approximately four months later the adapter stopped working. I brought my MacBook and the adapter to the Genius bar. The adapter was replaced because it was under warranty. To make sure the problem was not something I did as I didn’t want to duplicate, I inquired and was told some adapters just have problems. After two weeks, I noticed the rubber coating to the wire bunched up on the L end that connects to the MacBook Air on the replacement adapter. I returned to the store and was assured that my concern was unwarranted and that since the adapter was working fine I was fine and that if it stopped working I could just return it. On 11/22/12 it was not getting power. I returned to the store. After being asked where I returned the adapter when I originally had the problem (same store) I was informed that the replacement adapter was only covered for three months, to be happy it lasted as long as it did, and I would need to buy a new one for $61. However, the store didn’t have the adapter I needed and could buy the 60W adapter for $79. I was told I could go up, just not down. Before leaving, however, I asked if I was doing something wrong with the adapter and how long the new one was covered for. He inspected the nonworking adapter, pointed at the where the wire connects to the base and said no, usually people have their cords pulled from here but yours looks fine. On the plus side, the rubber coating around the wire of the new adapter appears thicker with no chance of sliding and bunching up. Glad Apple fixed this issue.

My iphone 5 is eligible for battery replacement program but I have bought it from a mobile operator in Thailand (my place) since Dec 2012. Please advice whether I have to contact my operator or Apple Authorized Service Center. And any cost or free?

No charge from magsafe adapter

I hate to post a new topic when it looks like hundreds of people have this problem, but none of the methods posted seem to have worked for me.
The other day I was using my macbook when i realized that the battery power was decreasing even though it was plugged in. I checked the power source, all seemed connected well, but the little green/amber light wasn't showing up on my magsafe adapter.
Eventually all of the battery power was used up and the computer turned off.
I have plugged this cord into about a hundred different places, tried other people's power cords... nothing.
I took the computer to a genius bar a few hours ago. They plugged in their adapter to my computer, and miraculously, it started charging again. Then they tried my adapter, and it, too, started working. We charged it up to 10% and then I was on my way, feeling a tad like an idiot, since everything seemed to work just fine at the genius bar.
Now I am back at home, and the **** thing isn't charging at all... again. And the 10% charge that I had saved up at the Apple store is gone... again.
No charge, no anything.
What should I do?

My MacBook works only with the Adaptor....and I've bougth it in the july 2007...
From the shell..if I write:
ioreg -w0 -l | grep Capacity
the result is:
| | "MaxCapacity" = 0
| | "LegacyBatteryInfo" = {"Capacity"=0,"Amperage"=0,"Cycle Count"=0,"Current"=0,"Voltage"=0,"Flags"=1}
| | "CurrentCapacity" = 0
My model of Battery begins with A1185....so battery serial number does not match any of the ranges listed in the Battery Exchange Program (Apple is voluntarily recalling the affected batteries and has initiated a worldwide exchange program to provide eligible customers with a new replacement battery, free of charge)...can you HELP ME?

Magsafe 2 Replacement?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else had trouble getting their magsafe 2 replaced. (I have only gone into an authorised reseller so far (Apples calling me tomorrow) but he said they very rarely issue a replacement (under directive from apple) but they couldn't be 100% sure as the technicians don't work on sunday).
Now on to the story
About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed a bit of silver wiring had become exposed near the T connector and the rubber can gone yellow. I thought nothing of it but 2 days ago I smelt a weird smell in the air and found the rubber about the connector had melted.
I was obviously quite shocked a small exposure in the wiring had turned into this and obviously need a replacement pronto due to fire/shock risks. I am at uni at the moment so my laptop is on most of the day (the power adapted probably on was on around 9hrs before i noticed it had melted so I took it into the authorised reseller and got that spiel. I have over a year of apple care left and the cable stills works (had to charge my laptop with it against my better judgement) so it can't be down to accidental damage rather design failure (indeed apple have a replacement program in the US (I am in the UK)). So I was wondering what other people experiences were with getting it replaced.
Regards
Gb9876

The replacement program (in the US) is for an earlier version of the adapter (the one with the white connector). Your case would probably have been much stronger if you reported the discoloring of the cable immediately. But given the age of the MBP personally I wouldn't take no for an answer.

Magsafe adapter issue

I purchased a non apple 60 watt magsafe adapter after my 2 year old macbook pro was having issues, I replaced the battery with a apple battery and the non charging issue continued, I would have to wiggle or place a phone on adapter where it magnetically attaches to laptop to get it to charge. The light goes on and off at will, and in order to chjarge it I have to play with it. The second adapter I bought worked great for 67 cycels and is now doing the same thing.. IS it the adapter or something more sinister? I tried to inform apple of the issue a few years ago and did not get anywhere. Any advice?
Thanks

These kinds of problems lend themselves really well to analysis at the genius Bar, if you can get to one. The guys there put their hands on Macs all day every day, and the physical stuff is what they know best.
Your appointment at the genius Bar is free, in warranty or out.

Recently when I want to charge my Macbook Pro, ok Pro 13" with my Magsafe adapter, it charges for a few seconds and then it stops as soon as my MBP found the remaining charging time.. I haven't done anything to my adapter.

Hi all
The last couple of days when I wanted to charge my Macbook Pro 13", my magsafe adapter stopped working when my MBP found the remaining charging time.
When I charge my MBP with another adapter, it works fine.
What can I do? Do I have to go back to the store? It is only four months old.

sounds like a funky charger, go to the store and try anoher if it messes up have it replaced. They've been having issuses wuth the new charger

Is there a Replacement Program for 2009 iMacs with MXM Graphics Cards?

I have an iMac 24" Early 2009 with the Nvidia GeForce GT 120 256MB MXM graphics card that is freezing and crashing over-and-over, especially when I'm away and it's not connected to my 2nd display! Odd. I've done the usual (cleaned the iMac inside, run fsck, SMC reset, PRAM reset, repair permissions from boot USB, disconnected all peripherals, changed mice and keyboards, changed the HD, reinstalled the OS, run Onyx and so on) and finally decided that it's a faulty graphics card that only a replacement will fix. When I'm home it's more stable when connected via a Displayport DVI adapter to DVI cable to a 24" Dell display. When standalone (like when traveling with my iMac for long stints out of town) it's unusable. It won't run for longer than 30 minutes, often not even 10 minutes, then I get screen artifacts and freezes and then have to fsck to repair the drive before running it again. Only running it in Safe Mode will allow it to run reliably.
However, I believe that I found a stopgap solution. I installed a program which I downloaded after installing XCode called Quartz Debug which has apparently allowed me to disable Quartz Extreme, 2D Acceleration and Quartz GL.
Turning off all Quartz graphics enhancements makes this machine stable if not exactly completely "mac-like" in its performance, but it's at least usable under most conditions for long periods of time. I know of people who have replaced the MXM graphics card on this machine with good effect, but it's an expensive proposition and these cards are apparently few and far between. Has anyone done this?
Based on the large number of nearly identical complaints about this model, both here and elsewhere, it seems like this MXM graphics card is defective or Apple's drivers are defective . . . well maybe, but it very, very predictably crashes when the computer gets hotter and not even _extremely_ hot, but well within what would be normal operating temps for other machines.
I've disassembled and completely cleaned the inside and have replaced the HD with an SSD and removed the optical drive entirely so if anything I've reduced heat-producing devices from the interior of the device installed a fan control and keep the graphics card features mostly turned off.
I've looked for but have yet to see a recall or warranty replacement program for this device and no, I don't have Applecare. I've owned several Apple products in the last two decades and with the issues with Apple products in recent years, it seems like Applecare must be figured as part of any Apple purchase if reliability and ongoing support is desired.
Ironically, I have an Apple IIc and a Power Computing Power Tower 166 that still work just fine, thank you!

This cropped up on my wife's late 2009 model 27" iMac, too. Random freezes were encountered, unable to identify cause for months, then one day it started to become unable to complete a normal boot. Tech Tool Deluxe was the only direct indication as far as diagnostics are concerned. I've NEVER been abvle to get Apple's hardware diagnostic to run from the cloud, and we fianlly got it on a Techs' bench, AHT showed nothing wrong. As you said, Safe boot is the only way to get into the system, and performance under 10.8.5 is glacial.
Now the kicker - we DID have AppleCare, and this phase of the MXM graphics demise hit within 4 or 5 months of AppleCare expiration. There's no longer a flat-rate repair option, Apple doesn't have any stock of the video board to sell as a replacement part (was $169, or $179 w/no exchange) and even refurbs of this paltry (512MB VRAM) board can hit $300. I know Mac users have become 2nd-class citizens in Apple's business universe, but we're now looking at sub-42 month lifespans for hardware? At $2k for a machine that lacks touchscreen option, that's out of line.
