My ac adapter problem (plzzzz help)

I use my ibook g4 all the time for college work and for general use.
Just recently I tripped on the ac adapter cable it came right out and then the ibook itself fell to the floor (from my bed) and landed on the dc side.
it didnt look that bad until I looked and the "male" part of the ac adapter and it has split slightly, i did the best i can to make the rim of the adapter circular again but everytime I put the adapter inside my ibook it does nothing but the green light and doesn't charge...
I think the tip of the "male" part of the adapter went inside the dc (female) part of my ibook but im not sure..
I just really need to know what I will have to do to get my ibook working again because now it wont charge and it has all my work on it so please please help me out anyway you can any help will be much appreciated, thanks.
ibook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Hi Yeah,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I usually focus on new topics in Using iBook G4 and not the others. I miss the recent posts box because then I could answer from all categories. Anyways you need to be careful with the DC-in board "female" plug. The same thing happened to my G3 iBook, which was a real bummer. What can happen is the DC-in board's plug can shift inside of the case. Eventually it may malfunction because of the shifting, which means you can't power your computer anymore. The thing to watch out for is with the new adapter's "male" plug doesn't start to split like the last one. This means that you have to probably/eventually replace the DC-in Board. If you can't charge your iBook, bring it to an Apple Store and have a Mac genius take a look. What they told me was that they wanted to replace the whole logic board instead of the DC-in Board ($750+). I guessed it would end up like that so I replaced it myself. Here is a guide on how to do it, just incase all else fails. Also at PBFixit.com you can get parts for you iBook. The DC-in Board is pretty cheap.
I hope that helps,
Jon
PS For future reference, you can get a power adapter Here

    what does this mean and where does the error come from plz guys tell me what to do,
    thx

    Hi,
    You might have exit the ide without closing the project. If you had run the application before successfully, it may be a run time problem. You can delete .Creator in user folder and rebuild project and run it. If it does not load properly check further errors if any.

    Can you post the portions of the server log that relate to this error (which may have some stacktraces useful for diagnosing).
    One thing you may want to try is to run the ide with a fresh userdir:

    Based on the error messages, it looks like there is a port conflict. You can try changing the server port via runtime-tab | select server | right-click and select properties.

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    in really disappointed with apple,
    Serge... you are aware that you are responsible for backing up your importanta data correct ?

  • I have a MacBook Pro and the batter icon has an "X" in it.  I attempted resetting the SMC but it's still there. Not sure if the SMC didn't work or I have another problem.  Help?

    You can try the SMC again.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself
    You can also try a NVRAM/PRAM reset (at the bottom of the same page in the above link
    Also hold the OPTION key and click on the Apple logo in the menu bar and click on system information, in the left column select power. Under the battery info see if it is charging (with the power adapter  plugged in) as well as the health info (condition should be normal), and battery installrd (should be YES)
    If other than these are different you may want to take it in to a Genius bar for a full diagnosis they will do that for dree.
    Hope this helps

  • Critical problem plz help!!

    hey,
    my n95 was working fine,yesterday it starts to restart by itself and wen my n95 turns on it restarts again.....so i formatted my n95 but when i was installing the software my phone turned off....and now my n95 is just a black screen with a backlight....plzzzz help!

    Try the hard reset code, which will wipe all of your data and installed apps.  If it fails to solve the problem then only a nokia care point can help you.
    Hard reset:
    1. Switch off the phone.
    2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
    3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
    4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
    It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers.

  • IPod Mini Problems Please Help

    This is my second post of the type... no one replied to that so im hoping someone could help me.
    Problems:
    -Wont Update or Load Songs
    -It starts loading, gets to around the 5th song (out of well over 600) and says "Ipod Update Complete, OK To Disconnect" though nothing is on the iPod.
    -Occasionally wont restore to factory settings.
    Okay, before you suggest the five R's, ill note that ive put several MONTHS into this, and ive tried them well over 20 times in order.
    Things Tried
    -5 R's Repeatedly (as noted above)
    -updating on a friends computer (several times with no luck, same problems)
    -requested help over the phone
    -The number i called was the Apple US Help Line, which the person helped me for about an hour before he said he did not know what was up, and transfered me to the Canadian help line, where they demanded a large sum for help, which i could not pay (under 18).
    -When i first noticed the problems, I sent it in (around the end of december)and problems continued upon arrival of the new mini.
    I will also note that my sisters iPod Nano works perfectly fine, no problems, as well as my friends iPods adding songs from my computer.
    Please please help... im currently resorting to a crappy CD player that skips for my music... and have been... its starting to break me inside.
    Thank you,
    Milan

    Natalie,
    If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
    You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject.
    If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked “enable disk use”, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.
    For the iPod to automatically open iTunes, you have to have "open iTunes when this iPod is attached" checked.
    Go to edit/preferences/iPod to do this.
    If you prefer to keep the iPod set to manual transfer, look at this. In fact, the whole tutorial is a must read.

  • Apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

    apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill ? If it's not then that might be the reason that you are getting the security code error : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

  • Mini display to hdmi adapter problem

    Hi,
    When I connected my mini display to hdmi adapter to hdmi, and hdmi cable to my ASUS PA238QR monitor, my early 2011 MBP 13" detects the monitor, but the monitor shows "hdmi no signal".
    I tried unplugging everything, including the adapter and hdmi, but to no avail. I tried putting my computer to sleep, and waking it up, still, nothing seemed to be the cause of the problem.
    I read through some old discussion on this issue, and nobody seems to have a solid solution besides purchasing another adapter.
    I tried booting into win7 and still, the monitor shows "hdmi no signal".
    I am 100% sure my monitor and hdmi works becuase when I used other laptops it's fine.
    Thus, I'm suspecting it's the mini display to hdmi adapter's problem.
    Is there a way I can make sure that my macbook pro is outputting the signal?
    Any recommendation or advises are welcomed. Thanks for reading.

    If you've an HDMI port on your television, you could always try that.
    I've used this adapter from Monoprice successfully - not bad for under $7.

  • Mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter Problems!!!

    Okay so I have a MacBook Pro running OS X version 10.5.8.
    2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo
    And I recently got a Phillips flat screen tv with HDMI hook ups.
    So naturally I wanted to connect my Mac.
    So I went to Best Buy and purchased the Rocketfish mini displayport to HDMI adapter.
    However upon connecting everything to my computer, nothing happened.
    No picture came up on my tv, no sound, no change at all.
    My computer doesn't even say there's a device connected.
    Is there some sort of steps to setting it up?
    I was under the impression I'd just have to plug it in and it would work.
    Do I need to get another adapter?
    Please help!
    Thank you!

    Took the MBP to the apple store. The display port works fine.
    Embarassingly the tech pointed out the USB plug on the adaptor which I hadn't connected thinking it would be for another peripheral. Hey presto it worked!
    Red faced thanks!
