New 85W Power Adapter

My puppy recently chewed through my power adapter, and the Apple Store is currently out of stock. I'm assuming that the majority of the $80 cost is due to the brick part, not the wire. Is it possible to simply buy a new wire and attach it to the current adapter instead of buying a whole new one?

hey, check my other thread. Mine just bit the dust too and it appears that the old version is completely MIA until the new ones comes out later next month. I ordered one online but I have no idea if i'll actually get it. Clint, in my other thread, mentioned a place that had them online (LAElectronics or something like that, go check that thread out) and I ordered from J&R Music World (who may or may not actually have them in stock).
Still, pretty shifty of Apple to remove any ability of ordering the adapter from them until the new ones come out (a guy at the Apple Store even told me they had pulled them from the Apple Store shelves, not sure if that is actually true or not). These are essential to the operation of the MBP, it's not like i can run to Best Buy and get a third party adapter.

  • Is light faulty on new 60w power adapter for my Macbook?

    Had to order a new 60w power adapter for my Macbook a couple of weeks ago -- bought it from the Apple Store (the new design adapter). When it's plugged in it turns green, then immediately turns red to recharge -- all normal. Once fully recharged the adapter light turns/stays green. But after awhile the adapter light goes out altogether. The icon shows it's charging, but the red (and green) light is off. If I remove the adapter and plug it back in the lights will come on again.
    Is this normal?
    Thanks.

    I think I'm experiencing the same problem. My computer charges but the light goes back and forth from being on or off, orange or green. I'm a little disappointed that the light could be burned out, but I guess a little light like that can't last forever. Oh well.
    Is it worth pursuing a replacement from Apple since I still have AppleCare? Just wondered.
    Anyway, this is really helpful information. Thanks for sharing.

  • New USB Power Adapter includes cable

    I just got caught and hope this advice helps others...
    The original USB iPod power adapter did NOT include a USB-to-dock cable. I just ordered the NEW USB power adapter and the extra cable. Guess what - it now includes the cable!

    Did you find a solution Raf SR?
    I have a similar problem. After initial (updating/restoring) issues with my ipod mini which I won't bore you with, I got it working and charging successfully through my PC via the USB cable. Then I bought a USB power adapter for when I am away from my PC. When I connected my ipod to the power adapter it did the brief "do not disconnect" thing then "OK to disconnect" with no attempt to charge. I left it overnight and the following morning it had the battery/triangle/exclamation mark symbol and I had to reset the ipod to get it to work (I did this while still connected to the power adapter).
    I borrowed a friend's firewire power adapter and that worked fine. I went back to the store and swapped my usb power adapter for another (firewire power adapter wasn't available) and it did the same as the first one. The ipod still charges fine via the PC and usb cable.
    I don't get it! Can anyone help? Thanks

  • TS1713 I need to purchase a new Portable Power Adapter which has a barrel type connection.  The one I have is not working.

    I need to purchase a new portable power adapter which has a barrel connector. Can not locate a new power adapter on the web site. Went through the troubleshooting, it is definitely not charging. Any one have info on this?

    You can buy from Apple. Or other vendors, such as Amazon.
    Check the wattage - it is printed on the side of the charger. Do not buy a lower wattage.
    Here's one. Note this is not an endorsement, only an example.

  • HT3964 BRAND NEW MAGSAFE POWER ADAPTER WON'T CHARGE THE MAC BOOK PRO

    I'VE RESET MY MAC BOOK PRO BECAUSE THE POWER ADAPTER STOPPED LIGHTING UP & WORKING AND ITY'S STILL NOT CHARGING THIS IS A BRAND NEW MACBOOKPRO I JUST PURCHASED IN BEST BUY & I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IT'S NOT CHARGING THE BOOK! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO?

    Do a SMC Reset,

    A new machine shouldn't need one, but it's it's not charging that's the solution.
    All I can figure it sat on a shelf at Best Buy too long, they are closing 50 stores so I hear, so apparantly they haven't been busy like a Apple Store is and product flies off the shelves in pristine charged up like condiiton.

  • Velco strap on new 170W power adapter too short

    I see that the W520 has a larger power supply (170W).  Unfortunately, someone in engineering forgot to lengthen the handy Velcro strap.  It is not long enough to reach around the power supply.  Please have someone look into that.   The strap is not expensive, and fixing the design won't cost much, but I tell you, the feature of having a wraping and straping device on the power adapter is sadly lacking in this new design and really missed.

    Not a good idea. I bet its getting hot. The new router draws a lot more power. Use a short extension cord would be a better idea

  • Mac Book Pro 17" 85W Power Adapter too Hot to handle while charging/using

    Hello All,
    I bought a Mac Book Pro 17". What's up with my Power Adapter when I am using the computer at the same time charging it. The Power Adapter gets so hot that it is too hot to handle...very very hot! Is this normal ?
    Any advise is most welcome on the matter.
    Mac Book Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Simple answer, no its not normal
    The adapter should get warm, but not hot
    The first thing i'd do is try it in a different power socket
    If it still heats up like you say regardless of where you plug it in, then its a fault in the adapter
    return it to apple or an apple reseller and get another one
    i wouldn't use it any more as it could be dangerous to your computer and become a fire hazzard

  • No standby with new power supply (new MagSave Power Adapter)

    Hi,
    i have a Macbook Pro Early 2008 and this was shipped with the "old" MagSave power adaptor, with the white connector on the macbook side. A few mont ago the power adaptor was defect so i bought a new one in the apple store. The new one with the grey connector worked perfect for charging. But if i have connected it, the macbook pro is not able to go into standby mode. If i use the battery it worked very well. If i attached the connector, while the macbook pro is in standby the macbook will wake up and never come to standby again.
    Does someone have a solution for this problem. This is a pain, because wy wife will always use the standby mode and close the macbook. After a while the macbook will be very hot.
    Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english, it is not my native language.
    Cheers
    Alex

    You could try resetting the SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US
    I've never done it, but the SMC is a piece of firmware that's responsible for (quoted from the article)
    "Responding to display lid opening and closing on portable Macs"
    Good luck.

  • Where can I find a new Magsafe power adapter for my late 2008 Macbook Pro

    my magsafe adapter has failed and it appears apple no longer makes one for my MacBook Pro. Any ideas on where to find one?

    Apple Store online and off, any Apple reseller including AASPs.  Do a Google search. 

  • My Magsafe 85W Power Adapter recently died.

    I have this L connector,and lately these pins have been stuck inside the connector, so its been difficult to charge. But last week the plastic around one of the grounding pins melted. The retailer told me that it is 5 years warranty on the chargers,so i sent it in so they could take a look. Today i was told that the warranty was declined due to too much dust on the port on my Macbook. They havent even seen the port on my mac,so how can they come to this conclusion? Do they have secret agents with cloaking equipment that sneak around in peoples houses?

    Not sure who you talked to but the warranty on the charger is the same as on the rest of the computer. One year standard warranty and can be extended to a total of 3 years with the purchase of the Applecare extended warranty.
    So go out and buy a new charger.

  • NewMacBook Power Adapter Typo Error

    There is a typo error on this link: as per 11/08/2006 10:10 PM
    http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html
    That said it shipped with 60W Power adapter, but if we scrool on the specs table, it said comes with 85W Power Adapter (usually for MacBook Pro).
    Hope everybody that order this new MacBook do double check so nobody will be dissapointed later.
    And if there is moderator around, do inform the webmaster to fix the typo error to the rightfull information.
    Good Luck.

    There is truly moderator around, and the typo problem now fixed: 11/09/2006 3:45PM
    http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html
    So the buyer will get the 60W Power adapter instead of 85 as stated before.
    Hope This Help.

  • Question about MagSafe Power Adapter

    I just got a new magsafe power adapter and wanted to know if leaving it connected to the electricity for too long damage it?
    Last question, my battery is dead, should I take it off andrun on the adapter, or just leave the battery on?
    A friend of mine told me tht "dead batteries" ruin power adapter?
    Thanks all

    I'm afraid you should buy a new battery, Frank.
    Running on the power adaptor alone will slow down your MBP. - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332
    Running with a seriously defective battery installed, though, may not only place a heavy load on your adaptor but may result in the battery deforming (causing other damage) or worse.
    Leaving your adaptor plugged into the power when not being used probably won't hurt it, but it will use more electricity than a fluoro lightbulb.

  • About the Zen Touch power adapte

    I bought a Zen Touch off Ebay and realized after I bought it, that it didn't come with a power adapter! It does come with a USB cable and they said you can charge it via computer. My question is: Is there any power adapter that can fit the zen touch? Can i just buy it at wal-mart? Or is there another product that has the same tip as the zen touch?
    Thanks
