Magsafe Adaptor Broken, Again.

My last magsafe adaptor broke, and I got it replaced for free (Out of warranty) due to it having a known problem. Now, the replacement in just over 4 months has given away, and won't charge. It's the exact same thing that happened to my last Magsafe adaptor whereby the Adaptor slowly went, where at first you had to hold it within a certain position to get it to charge, and that kept getting worse, until it went.
I've used it properly, following the apple guidelines, but it still went. I have the sheet from the last repair dated 23 August 2010, so I was wondering if I will get it replaced free of charge? I mean I see other people are having similar problems with this magsafe adaptor on the reviews section on this site, so it looks like the problem that you tried to fix, hasn't worked.
Thanks for reading!
EDIT: Sorry, i posted this in the wrong section.

I had the burning magsafe sheath problem in 2008 and had it replaced out of any type of warrany by a really kind genius guy.
Yesterday I went back for the same problem..but this "genius" said it was never a recognized issue. Since yesterday I'm looking for some way to prove them IT IS a known problem, there WAS a document (lost), and THEY probably gave me ANOTHER defected magsafe, as I use it very carefully.
I found this thread here http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1782256&tstart=0&messageI D=8426183#8426183 but it links to the lost apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1977?locale=en_EN which now redirects to the "Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters" page.
Would this be enough?
Can anyone help me retrieving that document?
Thanx

  • TS1713 Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of a damaged Magsafe adaptor?

    The cord on my 85W Magsafe adaptor has been damaged. Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of the adaptor?

    The cord directly connected to the adaptor was starting to rip off, and so my mother used electrical tape to fix it. The tape ended up melting, somehow causing the cord to rip off, but not completely. The charger works to an extent - it's very on and off. However, I still would like to replace it for a new one. Will I still be able to replace it? With warranty covering it?

  • Burnt Magsafe Adaptor

    Hello,
    I've had a common problem concerning the wire of my magsafe adaptor for my macbook. It's burnt/melted and won't charge my macbook anymore. I went to a few apple stores, one pretty much told me to sod off, and others told me there's only a warranty of 1 year on the adaptor. I bought my MacBook in august 2006 so that warranty no longer counts.
    Then I found this article online:
    Apple announces Magsafe out of warranty replacement program.
    This one concerns faulty Magsafe power adaptors that shipped with MacBook (13-inch Late 2006), MacBook (13-inch), MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy) and MacBook Pro (17-inch).
    Source: http://apcmag.com/appleannounces_magsaferecall.htm
    This article led me to the following URI:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1977?locale=en_AU
    A page on the official apple website clearly stating, whether my adaptor is in or out-of-warranty, I should be able to get a replacement.
    What's the deal?

    Print that page and take it into the Apple store. Don't leave without a replacement. Get a manager involved if you need to.

  • Where can I get a 3rd party mouse pad for my HP Pavilion dv6 - left mousepad button broken again!

    Broken AGAIN and just out of warranty.  I had this replaced at 9 months and now it's broken again (at 15 mths) with light/moderate usage.  I've seen lots of posts about this issue both on and off the HP forum.  Please can you tell me where I can get a replacement mousepad that I can install myself. 
    Thanks.

    The touchpad is part of the whole top cover so it is going to require a significant disassembly. The above is likely not your correct part either, but the top cover for all dv6's ought to be available on ebay for $50-80. Here is the Service Manual:

  • Internet Sharing broken again with 10.6.8 update?

    I have used Internet Sharing for years.  (SysPrefs/Sharing/Internet Sharing/Share your connection from [Ethernet] to computers using [Airport]).  It is very useful in my large old house, where my iMac is connected by an ethernet cable to a WiFi router in another part of the house; it gives me another WiFi zone without having to buy a WiFi extender.
    This seems to be a forgotten feature in the OS (forgotten by Apple, that is).  Several times in the last few years, it has "broken" ie ceased to work after an OS upgrade, and only worked again after either another upgrade to the OS or to Airport.  The last time, upgrading to OS 10.6.7, it still worked but had an annoying but tolerable bug which required me to switch it off then on again after a restart.
    I have just upgraded to 10.6.8 and it seems to be broken again.  (iPad etc can see the network, pretend to join it, but don't actually connect to the internet).
    Anyone else got the same problem?
    Anyone at Apple reading this?
    Maybe I should just go and buy another WiFi extender (they're a lot cheaper now) and stop trying to use my Mac to do this!

    My wife's new(ish) MacBook Air had the wifi problem. As soon as she upgraded to 10.6.7, she lost internet connection - though wifi signal was still strong. We were hoping the new upgrade to 10.6.8 would fix the problem. It didn't. I tried everything - PRAM, disk permission repairs, etc etc. Finally, this evening, on a whim, I decided to input my old DNS settings (from when I was using the Witopia VPN) into her network settings. I have no idea why, but her connection returned immediately. I tried deleting them again to make sure it really was that, and the connection was lost. Put them back, and the internet came back. Bizarre. We are not even using Witopia anymore (we are in China, and use Asterill). Can anyone explain what's happening?
    Thanks!

  • MagSafe Adaptor works on MacBook Pro but not MacBook

    I have a MagSafe 60 Watt adaptor that will not work on any of our 1 year old Black MacBooks but will work on my MacBook Pro 17" and my other workers 15" MacBook Pro. Has anybody ever had this happen? I have tried it on at least 8 MacBooks and no go. Thanks, Billy

    Have discovered that the MagSafe adaptor also works on a white, but will not work on a Black MacBook. Apple replaced it but it still puzzles me.

  • Shortkey for logout now broken again since 3.5.1

    BUG REPORT
    We used to be able to logout from a client computer using the normal shortcut CMD-SHIFT-Q.
    It sits in the bones and I quickly do this when I'm leaving a service session with a client computer
    Since 3.5.1 my computer tries to log me out from my admin computer rather than logging me out from the client computer.
    ARD admin should pass the logout short-cut to the client computer, not let it go to the admin computer.
    It was broken in 3.2 or 3.3 and got fixed later ut now it's broken again
    /Per Mattsson

    This occurrs any time I press the volume rocker key to mute the ring of an incoming call.  After the initial time when it played an extremely brief snippet of my ringtone (factory installed "Older Phone" ringtone), it has randomly switched between the short ringtone and a electronic squeal noise.
    Since I know the slightest software change can kill a seemingly unrelated feature, I'll try to be as detailed as possible.  For my phone setup, it is completely stock (phone no.5 after misc. slider/screen/charger door issues, haven't had time to change anything yet) My ringtone volume is set to maximum with vibrate also on, system sounds are also set to maximum with the default tone. I have no non-app catalog programs or patches installed.  I use a Touchstone back cover, although the phone was not on the charger when I noticed the issue.  
    The only downloaded apps on the phone are Pandora, Tip 'em!, Stop Watch, Fandango, Good Food, Mileage Monitor and gDial Pro (which has not been set up yet).  With the exception of Pandora, none of these apps have been used since I received this replacement phone.  They were all just automatically downloaded because my previous phone had them.  I have e-mail accounts through Cox, Yahoo, and Gmail, none of which are synced to contacts, calendars, messaging or tasks.  I do have my Palm profile and EAS through my work in a full sync capacity.
    Hope this helps.

    It seems the iPhone before the update was not officially unlocked from the carrier it is locked to. Which would mean it had been unlocked to use on your carriers sim by jailbreaking(hacking) or by using third party hardware.

  • HP Scan to Email App is Broken Again

    The Scan to Email App is Broken Again!
    Printer: HP6700 Officejet Premium
    I kept having the dreaded "Cannot cannot to the Internet" error when trying to use the Scan to Email App
    The app has been working fine for a few months; there were no changes to the system, and then, it just stopped working - again.
    I've stopped and re-started Web Services, gone thru the Wirless Network Setup again, and re-registered the printer with HP Connect.  I've also removed and then added the Print to Email App again.
    Now when I try to set-up the Scan to Email App and try to enter the PIN that was emailed to me I get:
    Internal Processing Error
    Please let me know how to fix this!!
    Thanks :-)

  • HBOGO login system broken AGAIN

    OMG why is the HBO GO authentication system broken AGAIN... after months of successful use, when logging in, you get the error message "you need an HBO subscription" ... of course i have had a subscription for a long time...  this error happens every few months.. no one at verizon can help you... you just have to wait until someone at fios notices something is wrong and they fix it... so I am posting this to make some noise!!! PLEASE FIX

    I have been unable to log into hbogo now for the last 2 days. I've been using it for months and now it's saying I need to subscribe to HBO in order to use the service.  I'm obviously already subscribed, so there is a problem with the login authentication.
    Please fix this Verizon.

  • Magsafe adaptor making a distinct high pitched buzz

    What the title says. Buzz coming from the magsafe adaptor. Usually when i first turn the power on, the buzz will sort of "sizzle", like an uneven buzz, then even out to the distinct continous uniform buzz. Any ideas?
    Cheers

    Run, don't walk to your local Authorized Service Provider. In the interim, you may want to change the duck-head for the extension cable (or vice versa) and see if that makes a difference.

  • MagSafe adaptor very hot

    So, I think my dad ran over my MagSafe adaptor while he was vacuuming the other day.  It's still charging properly and everything but the "cube" of the adaptor is very hot after it's been plugged in for a bit.  Right now it's plugged into the wall via the longer three-prong cord then to the Mac.  I've had it plugged in about 30 mins and it's already so hot that I can't touch it properly and if I disconnect the extension cord, the metal prongs on the MagSafe are hot as well.  I'm just checking here before I buy a new one because I don't remember if this is normal.  I don't know for sure that anything happened to it but there appear to be hairline cracks near where the extension cord connects to the MagSafe.  Replace?  
    As I'm writing, I feel like it's obvious the device needs to be replaced, but maybe this question will help others so I'll post it anyways

    It is better to take the MBP to the Apple store as soon as possible.
    This is not normal.
    May be the adapter has to be replaced.
