    Take a photo of the losing parts and send it to  ifixit.com
    They will advise you what to get replaced.
    or you can bring it to Apple store (you need a booking slot) and get a quote.

  • Macbook Pro power supply and grounding.

    Hey Apple people. I noticed something disconcerting with the power supply on my MacBook Pro 13" (non-retina)
    I have a stainless steel metal table in my kitchen. It is the same type of stainless steel table you find in restaurants.
    I have my 13" MacBook Pro in a Speck See-thru case.
    The MacBook Pro in it's case is sitting on a Rain Design "M Stand".
    The Rain Design "M Stand" is sitting on the stainless steel table.
    I am wearing a short sleeve shirt.
    I am sitting on a fabric covered chair at the table.
    The battery was getting low so I got out my power supply, which is the power brick with the two prong plug adapter.
    I plugged this into a power strip and the other end into the computer.
    While touching the case of the computer with one hand and leaning on the stainless steel table with my other bare arm. I felt a vibration through the fingers that were in contact with the MacBook Pro. I knew what was going on, and I got really concerned.
    I tried an experiment.
    I got out the extension cord that came with the MacBook Pro power supply and I changed out the two prong plug on the power supply for the extension cord. The extension cord has a grounding post.
    When I plugged the power supply back into the power strip and connected the power supply to the MacBook Pro. I no longer felt a vibrating sensation when I was in contact with the stainless steel table and the computer.
    I have other MacBook Pro power supplies and I always use the grounded extension cable with them, because it is located at my regular workstation area. This stainless steel table is located in my kitchen, and I was eating dinner and watching YouTube videos.
    Just thought you would like to all know that when you don't use the grounded cable on your MacBook Pro. you become the ground.
    Never using this power supply anywhere again without the grounded cable.
    Thank you for your time.

    It depends on what you are doing.  Yes, the power supply can get hot.  This is normal.

  • Macbook and Macbook Pro Power Adapters

    Is it safe to use a Macbook Pro power adapter in a Macbook and vice versa?
    I have just noticed that the MBP's adapter is 85 watts and the MB's is 60 watts. I hadn't realised they were different.
    My wife and I share each others adapters all the time (she has a Macbook). Will this be damaging either of the laptops?

    Shouldn't cause any problems. The main issue will be that the 60w adapter won't provide enough juice to both charge the MBP battery and run it if there is much of a load so I'd avoid using the 60w on the MBP for anything other than charging the battery whilst not using the machine - sudden power shortage could be painful for the machine.
    Best of luck.

  • I plugged in my macbook pro power adapter and heard a loud bang. I checked the charger by opening it and found out the charger blew the whole mother board up. So i buy another charger, as i live in Egypt, that blew up the same way, please help.

    You'll certainly need a new logic board.
    If I were you, I would take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them evaluate the problems and give you an estimate for repair. If you're out of warranty, be prepared to pay a very high price to get your computer repaired.
    Good luck,

  • Using Macbook Pro Power Adapter on a Macbook

    I have a Macbook Pro and someone else in my family has a Macbook. Recently they misplaced their power adapter and started borrowing mine to use until theirs was found. I was uneasy about it, but it seemed to work okay. I know that the adapters are slightly different but will it hurt the Macbook to use a Macbook Pro power supply?

    It's fine. The MB will only draw the power it needs. FYI, the MBP adapter is 85 W, the MB's is 60 W.
    Hope this helps...

  • My macbook pro power adaptor getting heated

    Hi
    My macbook pro power adaptor getting heated  & ultimately melting the coil which leads to power off.
    Is there any solution for that.

    我刚刚尝试了一下，我的电源适配器也好热！但是不至于融化的温度，可以尝试换一个吧。
    I just have a try, I find my power adapter is very hot! But it is not the melting temperature.U can try to change another.

  • HT3275 What if my error message is the following:  The backup disk image "/Volumes/********'s Time Capsul/****'s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use. (I have redacted the name of the computer with asterixes)

    What if my error message is the following:  The backup disk image “/Volumes/********'s Time Capsul/****’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. (I have redacted the name of the computer with asterixes)

    This is a complex procedure.  
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a minute or two
    Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
    This will fix the issue 98% of the time. If you are in the unlucky 2% category, more help is here from Pondini, the Time Machine guru:

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.

    I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note.  I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds.  I can't get rid of it.  I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch.  But, Notes will not stop.  It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.
