My charger for my MacBook Pro

My charger for my MacBook Pro has exposed wires. It is still woking, but I am afraid the exposed wires will cause a fire or may even shock me. I am no longer under warranty because I bought my MacBook Pro in 2011. What can I do? I looked at chargers for this computer and they are $80 and I can't afford that being a student without an income. Please help!

  • What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13"  mid 2009 model?

    What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model? I have two chargers for two different Mac and don't know which is  thankswhich. I'm really looking for specific details such as voltage/watts and all the rest to idenify my charger.  A link to where to web page where I could purchase the correct charger would also be very useful. Many thanks.
    All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

    Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
    Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
    Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

  • The charger for my Macbook pro is not working.

    For some unknown reason, the charger for my Macbook pro is not charging.  The green light that is at the connection does not turn on.  The outlet power source remains good.  Am I stuck having to buy another charger?

    Try performing an SMC reset:

    can you post the symptoms that make you think the notebook is not charing?  Does the battery display change when you connect and disconnect the charger?

  • 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.

  • Is this power supply (A1185 10.8 V, 55Wh) compatible with  New White 60W 16.5V 3.65A Laptop AC Adapter Supply Magsafe Power Charger For Apple Macbook pro A1184 A1185

    Is this power supply (A1185 10.8 V, 55Wh) compatible with  New White 60W 16.5V 3.65A Laptop AC Adapter Supply Magsafe Power Charger For Apple Macbook pro A1184 A1185

    All of the A1181 polycarbonate MacBooks use the A1184 60W MagSafe power supply/charger and the A1185 battery. These are the Apple part numbers. Other manufacturers make equivalent replacement products, but the quality may not be acceptable.

  • My charger for my MacBook Pro is not working

    The charger cord for my MacBook Pro is not working. This happened before but I do not remember what the tech guy had me do. It was a simple fix....

    If the SMC reset does not work check for contamination or stuck pins:

  • In need of new charger for 2009 Macbook Pro

    I got my Macbook Pro in the summer of '09, along with a charger cable. Now my charger has finally decided that it no longer wants to work properly, forcing me to maneuver it in all kinds of positions to make the connection happen (I think it got crimped somewhere along the way, and now it takes playing around to find the connection again).
    I want to get a new charger, but I don't know which kind to get. The one I currently have has a T-shaped connector; does this mean I need to get one with the same shape, or could I get an L-shaped head? I know that the ones for Macbook air don't fit (my sister has one, and it's wider and narrower than mine), and I have no idea what version of MagSafe I have (writing on the bottom is kind of rubbed off). Any ideas?

    You should replace it with the same model - 85 watt with T connector. However, it's likley the L shaped one will work as well. This is for a MacBook Pro.
    Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adaptor (for 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro).
    Apple no longer sells the T-shaped adaptors. However, you can find refurbished replacements elsewhere by searching with Google.

  • My wall charger for my macbook pro won't charge, if a get a new one do i have to pay or it has insurance?

    My MacBook Pro charger is not charging, i think i pull the charger to hard and broke. Does the charger have insurance or do i have to buy a new one. I've been having my Mac since March 2011.

    If you don't have AppleCare, then your warranty has expired and you'll just have to buy a new MagSafe power adapter.

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger for my macbook pro that came with an 60 watt charger?

    My charger broke a few weeks ago and i ordered another one on amazon and that broke within a week so i'm going to just buy another one from the apple store. But i dont want to wait to order one because i currently cant use my laptop since it died (i dont live near an apple store), but theres a store that sells apple products. they only have 85 watt for the laptops though. so would i be able to use that without ANY issues? I would rather order from the apple store than to buy something that can cause problems, so i just want to know if my macbook will be safe if i use an 85 watt instead of the 60 watt, which is what originally came with my laptop. Thank you.

    An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.

  • Is there a car charger for the MacBook?

    Is there a car charger for the MacBook Pro?

    Not exactly.
    There is the Apple Airline Adpater that takes the 15v DV airline and maintains a previously fully charged Macbook battery, but doesn't charge the battery as it doesn't have enough power like the Magsafe powerbrick adpater does.
    One can use the Airline adpater in a vehicle with 12v, it does the same as above, helps prolong the battery but to a slightly lesser extent as it's only 12v instead of 15v.
    12v to 110v adapters (thus to use the supplied Magsafe adapter) doesn't work and only can result in frying out your vehicles electrical system in most cases as their cables are not designed to handle that much power draw on the 12v side, just to run the car and a few gizmos like a cigarrette lighter.
    If one notices the cable on their vehicles battery, it's very thick, designed to carry a lot of electrons. That is not the case when it get to the 12v cigarrate adapter, it gets very thin. Pulling too many elecrons through a thin wire makes it overheat, it should trip the car's breaker first, but sometimes just a heavy load but not enough for the breaker to jump, will significantly wear out the thin wires and cause vehicle electrical problems.
    Using the Airline Adpater in a 12v or using the 12v DC to 110v AC adpater is not approved by Apple and can likely void your warranty if discovered as user inflicted abuse.
