Power adapter light not working

The other day the LED light was stuck on green, even when laptop was not fully charged and even when I pulled it out of the computer!
Now, the light doesn't come on at all and it doesn't seem to be charging the computer. The battery indicator on the screen is showing that it is connected, but when I unplug the power adapter, the battery is not charged.
I've tried blowing out any dust/debris, and making sure all of the prongs are properly functioning. Any other advice?

Stop by an Apple Store, if you can, and test using a different AC adapter. If that works, your adapter is faulty. If it doesn't, your computer probably is.

Mag Safe power adapter light not working?

HI,
I"ve had my MBP laptop and accessories since October of last year. Haven't had much of a problem besides battery fluctuation. Anyways as of late, the last week or so, whenever I plug in the magsafe adapter the light will turn on (green) then orange to charge then sputter off as if it's not on, even though my laptop say's its charging. Do I have a short? Or whats wrong with my adapter? If something's wrong where do I go to get it replaced because I can't afford to buy a new one. Please help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I have also heard of the green/orange fluctuation being related to a defective battery. If you are also experiencing battery fluctuation, you may have a defective battery which is the real culprit. See if the battery fits any of the situations in this article:

Your best bet would be to make an appointment at the genius bar if you have access to an Apple Store. There you could try a known good power adaptor and see if the problem persists. They should be able to determine if the problem is with the adaptor or the battery or possibly both.
Good luck!

Hi,
You should still be under warranty, but if not you should be able to buy one from HP Parts Surfer.
I hope this helps

My power adapter is not working at all

Hello
Recently, my power adapter has stopped working. I'm down to 33% battery power and no way to recharge! If I unplug the adapter and plug it directly into a wall outlet (grounded), it still does not work. No light on the adapter plug at all.
What's up here? How do I fix this? Please help!

If it won't switch on, and assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

AC adapter light not working

When charging my Macbook Pro sometimes the indicator LED light doesn't come on at all. Everytime I checked when the LED isn't working the computer still charges, but I am not sure if when I leave it sometimes if it is charging correctly since the LED doesn't work periodically. I am also wondering if this is an issue with the adapter, rather then the actual computer port. If it is the computer port I don't feel comfortable with sending it out for repairs if its just a small issue. I guess what I am trying to see is if anyone else has experienced this issue. I would much rather go to the apple store and recieve a new adapter, and if the issue persists I can send it in for repairs. Please if anyone has experience with the same trouble I have had let me know. Thank you in advance.

May be the adapter is not working properly.
Take the MBP and MagSafe/Power Adapter to the Apple store for evaluation.

My Macbook Pro power adapter is not working

I have had my MacBook Pro for less than 1 year and I only use it to get to Uni and back. I leave the adapter at home and unplug it when I'm not using it, but lately it has decided that it doesn't want to work and hence I cannot charge my laptop. Is there anything I can do other than spen $90 on a new charger?

If your computer is still under warranty, so is the power adapter. Make an appointment at an Apple store or call AppleCare.

HP Pavilion Power Adapter Beeping/Not Working

I just made a post earlier tonight about how my HP Pavilion dv7-1014ca Entertainment Notebook was running too hot. Well now I've got bigger problems.
The battery on my laptop has been shot for a while now. My notebook isn't even 2 years old yet and I've gone through3 batteries. For whatever reason, they just aren't lasting. Last year I also had issues with my power jack not working properly. I got it repaired last summer, but in the past two months, it seems as if the issue has returned. Sometimes when I move the chord, the power supply cuts out. Also in the past month or so, my power adapter has been making this annoying beeping noise whenever I plugged it in. It would usually go away if I fiddled with it, but as of right now, I can't get it to stop, short of unplugging the thing. As it stands, the power adapter no longer seems to work, and since my battery is shot, my notebook has turned off. With no battery and no external power source, my laptop is unusable.
So... is the adapter fried? Is my power jack toast again? Seeing as my PC is no longer under warranty, what are my best options for replacement parts/fixes?

Hello @pxj,
I understand that your notebook's keyboard is not working, and that your alternative keyboard does not function as well. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since your system's available drivers do not contain any keyboard drivers for Windows 7, I recommend obtaining a recovery disc to re-install Windows Vista on your system. This can be done by following this document on Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

I am currently living on an island in Greece, but my computer is registered in Australia.
My power adapter for my Mac book pro has stopped working, it is only 13 months old.
Any suggestions?

Try it on another MBP or try another one on your MBP (assuming you have such options available).
Here is the 'official' Apple support link:

You may very well have to purchase a new one.

My Printer Power light is not working, and Indicator lights are also not blinking. but Scanner is working fine. Also an error message showing "Cover is open".but the cover is closed properly. There is a problem with printer.
kindly, provide the solution.
Thanks,

Hi RamyaVemuri,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your printer power button is not working, and that their is no light indicators.
I think this guide should help. 'The Cover is Open' Message Displays on the Computer.
If that doesn't work, please respond with the type of printer you have as their are multiple Deskjet F2400s. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
Hope this helps, thank you for posting.

MacBook Pro 17" power adapter lights orange when NOT plugged into laptop.

My MacBook Pro power adapter lights up orange even though it is not plugged into a device. When I do plug it into my laptop it remains the same and does not charge. Due to this my laptop is now dead. What does this orange light mean?

You should take both your MBP(Macbook Pro) and your power adapter to an Apple Genius bar or an AASP(Authorized Apple Service Provider) for a free evaluation. This is a strange occurance, and it seems that it may be a hardware malfunction.
Make an appointment so you don't have to wait too long.

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?
My power adapter doesn't charge my computer anymore. however the charge light is on.
Please help my battery is draining fas

So, with your power adaptor connected not only does the battery not charge but the powerbook is not running on ac power. Then I guess the power adaptor is faulty. In as much as you've verified this with a known good one a new one is in order. Try yours in another powerbook to make sure.

Laptop won't turn on - the power adapter light flashes three times? G62 b29SA

I've been replacing the fan in my friend's laptop. I had a problem with the trackpad not working after I put it back together and that problem is not yet resolved but I have another problem preventing me from getting further. Now when I press the on button, the power adapter light (next to the socket for the external power) flashes three times and that's all. It flashes again three times every time I press the power button. It does this even with an external power source plugged in (I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to just stay on constantly when the charger is plugged in but the power source I have is a universal one set to 19 V - it has powered up with this plugged in before but I don't know whether it was taking charge from it). Any advice?

I got the charger from my friend and now it boots up just fine. There seem to be many meanings to the three flashes based on my Internet searches but in this case it appears that it's some way of indicating a low battery.

I am having MacBook Pro 3 yrs old and today while I was watching some movie on it suddenly it got power off and when I am trying to start it, it's power button is not working even the round button on external left side is not showing battery lights. But when I connect it to chrger then Charger only gives green light and even the external round button only shown 4 green lights (if charger connected). I don't know what to do now

Sounds like you need a #1SMC Reset
1. SMC reset
>>Instructions to reset SMC
Disconnect other non-Apple and external hardware except (if applicable) a mouse and keyboard until your finished repairing your machine.
Problems solved: Fans blowing with no activity, machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor and graphics issues etc. If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile afterwards.
Will not hurt the machine resetting if it's not broken.
Other related hardware problems (optional):
Check battery status: Hold option/alt key down while clicking on the battery icon in the menu bar, top right corner.
Magsafe: Use the correct/matching power supply charger with your Mac, not a less powered one from another Mac.
