Power Adapter Not Working...

Please Help!
When i plug my power adapter in nothing happens. The tip does not light up orange or green, the computer acts like its not even there, it does not charge anything. I have tried different outlets and power strips and still nothing. I have tried using the long cord instead of the short nub I have also tried resetting the PMU which did not help. I also tried leaving it unplugged for 60 secs and still nothing...
Is anything else i can do to get it working? I really dont want to spend the 80 bucks on another one...
Thanks
iBook G4 1.42 1.5GB DDR SDRAM 60Gig HD   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Mac mini 1.66GHz ICD 2Gig Ram 80Gig HDD

Since it's clearly not the outlet there are still two remaining points of failure, the ibook and the adapter. If you can, try a friend's adapter on your ibook and try your adapter on their ibook.
If your adapter doesn't charge any other ibooks/PBs out there it is likely dead and will need to be replaced. You can either get a new one from apple or find a third party one like this one.

  • Macbook pro 15' power adapter not working

    When I was using macbook pro 15' early 2008 this morning, the power adapter suddenly did not work. The led light on the power adapter blanked and the status bar showed that I was using the battery. I am sure about the power adapter is fine cause I try it on another macbook pro and it works well. I have tried to take off the battery and the power adapter for 30 secs and then press the power button. But it does nothing good. I have tried to press the option + command + "R" + "P" and power button to reset PRAM. But the problem is still there. Now I have run out my battery what should I do ?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    It sounds like the power board inside the MacBook Pro has failed, best get it to an authorised repair centre.

  • The USB Power Adapter NOT working for 3rd Gen iPod touch!?

    Hi Apple dudes
    Well.. Look here:
    http://store.apple.com/dk/product/MB051ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTEyNjA0NTg
    As you can see, the iPod Touch 3rd Gen (I got 32 GB, 3rd Gen) isn't listed as a compitable device.. So now I don't know whether to believe the text or the compitable list.. I really don't wanna wasted an already outrageous price on a simple thing like a adapter - And really, what's up with you NOT being able to charge your iPod from a regular USB power adaptar - NOOOOO, it HAS to be the APPLE-MADE one, cause it's soooo white.. Yes, I'm frustrated, 'cause my first time with an Apple product hasn't just been as your slogan says: "It just works!".. Nop.. Problems, confusing software, and you wouldn't even let me now that my username was already taken when I creted this account. Come on... Took me several "Create now" and Browser-switching to figure it out..
    Sorry for this aggresive ending, I hope you can help me with my problem after all
    Regards

    Welcome to the  forums!
    I can't help you with things like user names. Apple handles that; I'm an Mac/iPod user, not an Apple employee.
    Tech specs for the unit you have can be found here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html. And, based on the back view (4th image) on the page you listed, I'd say you could use it for your iPod, because you should have the USB charge-cable that came with the iPod. (The one that plugs into the computer, and hence, into the back of the charger.)
    However, I'm not an expert in European iPods, being American.
    As for software...Apple software, if you're used to using Windows, takes time to get used to. I'm still finding things out, and I switched a year ago. It takes a little time.
    Best of luck--
    Doc

  • G5 dvi to vga adapter not working

    DVI to VGA adapter not working with my G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC. I am trying to use a VGA Monitor but can not get a signal. I also am using a Dell with a DVI Input and that works fine using a DVI Cable from my G5 to the Dell u2410.

    Bad adapter?
    The G5 ports are DVI-I. Any good DVI-I to VGA adapter should be fine.

  • Qosmio X500: power adapter stopped working for no reason

    Hi,
    Now i have my Qosmio X500 for a year and i like it, however i have small problems with it, and i would like to know if it can be problematic.
    The first thing is that my power adapter stopped working for no reason,
    So i bought a new one, but it always made some noise when the laptop was fully charged.
    I know people with the same laptop and their adapter didn't make that sizzling noise, it looks like it was already defect from the begin.
    Then i have one dead pixel in the middle of my screen, no problem for me.
    Finally my screen is a bit loose from the laptop, when i close it, i can move it, it always seems like it's not on it's correct place, because when i close it normally it's not 100% horizontal...
    Also when i replace my screen, my speakers make crackling noises and my webcam stops working.
    So all those problems i have annoy me, especially the last one (webcam and speakers problem), can this fit in the warranty of the laptop? I did extend the warranty for one year...
    Thanks in advance.

    > The first thing is that my power adapter stopped working for no reason,
    > So i bought a new one, but it always made some noise when the laptop was fully charged.
    I think this is AC adaptor fault maybe a broken cable or something like that I would recommend you to replace this get in contact with the dealer and ask for the new one.
    > Then i have one dead pixel in the middle of my screen, no problem for me.
    I found a info about such issues:
    +Information on screen technology and pixel failure tolerance for LCD displays
    +http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9502LZ0000R02.htm
    > Finally my screen is a bit loose from the laptop, when i close it, i can move it, it always seems like it's not on it's correct place, because when i close it normally it's not 100% horizontal...Also when i replace my screen, my speakers make crackling noises and my webcam stops working.
    Maybe you should ask Toshiba notebook technicians for a check maybe some screws or the hinges are loose.
    The speakers should be checked with connected headphones. If you will not notice the same crackling sound using headphones, then the issue might be related to speakers

  • Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine

    Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine.
    This is a brand new MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) just received.  I suspect that this is a hardware problem as:
    The mini-displayport to DVI adapter and the external monitor that I am utilizing connect and operate just fine using my older MacBook Pro (mid-2010) with the same OS.
    The new MacBook Pro powers the external monitor with a mini-displayport to VGA adapater without issue.
    The new MacBook Pro powers an Apple Thunderbolt display without issue.
    Both MacBook Pro's are running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
    The only combination which does not work is the mini-displayport to DVI adapater used in conjunction with the brand new MacBook Pro (mid-2012).
    All adapters and components (mini-displayport adapters) are Apple retail adapter.
    I have tried several external monitors, including my Dell U2412m.
    When I connect the mini-displayport to DVI adapater to the new MacBook Pro (mid-2012), nothing happens. The external monitor reports "no signal" and attempts to go into sleep mode.  Using the "Detect displays" button has no effect, even when used multiple times.  Rebooting does not help, nor does resetting the SMC or PRAM.
    Any other suggestions before I take it to the Genius Bar?

    I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
    I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure.  Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous).  However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
    Hope that htis helps.

  • StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521

    Side Note: I wrote a reply to a thread that was from 2013. I do apologize because the link was sent to me by my bf and I did not realize how old it was. Since my reply has to be approved I can't delete it.
    Current Issue: StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15 model 3521 
    I bought my Dell laptop last year and at first I did not realize that it had only one audio jack (combo, as the specifications manual says), I only noticed when I was trying to plug in my Ozone Rage ST headset.
    I searched online threads and found out that I needed an adapter and most people mentioned Headset Buddy. I couldn't find any adapters for sale in my country (or employees didn't really know what I was talking about) and since Headset Buddy is a bit expensive, I decided to try StarTech Headset adapter for headsets with separate headphone/microphone plugs - 3.5mm 4 position to 2x 3 position 3.5mm M/F www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top.
    It arrived today and let me tell you that I can't make it work. I can hear everything but I can't get the external mic to work or even be detected. I have always used my headset (mostly for gaming) and I prefer to use my external mic rather than the internal one. First I connected my headphone and mic jacks to the adapter and only after that did I connect it to the laptop combo jack. I also tried vice-versa. It didn't work, regardless of the order. I even tried with a different headset and it still didn't work. What else can I do?
    I have also found a thread on Dell forums saying that Headset Buddy doesn't even work on Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521. So since it doesn't work and I'm assuming StarTech doesn't, either, what am I to do/buy?! I am getting extremely frustrated and I'm very disappointed with Dell because the brand should have included with the laptop a proper working adapter for these situations and not make its customers buy an extra accessory to make whatever working gear they already had function. It just doesn't make sense to me! Either make the changes work properly or simply don't touch anything. I spent some of my savings on this laptop which, overall, is great but now I am being forced to spend more on an item to allow me to use my headset. I am running out of options here and even Dell can't seem to tell its customers with 100% certainty what really works for this specific model. 
    If I can't make the adapter work, I just hope I can return it, otherwise I'll end up with no refund and with a piece of equipment I have no other use for! 
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    This is the first time I was forced to buy adapters such as these so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's anything else I can do to make it work. When I plug the adapter to my Dell, the laptop presents me with several options such as: headphones, headphone, speakers, skull candy headphones, etc (maybe some may have different names but since I see them in Portuguese, I'm not quite sure how they appear for someone who has the computer in English), I have picked different options and it still doesn't work, the only noticeable changes are sound quality related, I guess.

  • My hdmi adapter not working anymore, no physical damage. Solution?

    My hdmi adapter not working anymore, no physical damage. Solution?
    Strange is, that i used it several times, it worked fine. Then wothout any reason (like software updete, etc) it just stopped workung, no sync.
    I have not changed any parameters of my TV or Beamer.
    Hardware:
    Ipad 2, Apple Ipad HDMI Adapter,  Samsung P2770FH, Optoma HD 65.
    Thanks for any help.

    I've only used mine a couple of times without any problem, but due to the thinness of the iPad, care has to be taken in inserting the adapter.  Slightly wrong angle and it won't go it. 
    I had a laptop a few years ago where the USB connector failed. I had it replaced under the warantee,  The service man told me it was not an uncommom failure on a laptop due to people "torquing" the USB socket while inserting/removing USB items.  I have much the same feeling when inserting either the charger cord or my HDMI adapter.
    From your description, unless the HDMI adapter failed internally, it sounds like the socket is causing the problem.  A few days ago we watch our first movie from the iPad via my ATV2 and "Air Play".  Worked great so I don't plan on using the HDMI adapter much at all in the future.  Yes, it is a $99 solution, but it works for me.  Of course, I already had the ATV2.  I doubt if I would buy one just for this abiliity.  If nothing else, it seems like a trip to the Apple Genius bar is in order for maybe a replacement unit.
    However, with iOS 5 coming out with supposedly total mirroring, it might be worth thinking about getting an ATV2.

  • Power button not working

    iPopd touch 4th generation sleep/power button not working.
    Any ideas? how long is warranty?

    The standard warranty is one-year. Yu can purchase, before the one-year is up and additional year. Yu can check your coverage here:

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

  • Power button not working with 7.1 update

    Power button not working with 7.1 update

    I take it your phone was still under warranty then?!
    Unfortunately I was not so lucky, and my experience was rather poor service-wise. They're called Apple Geniuses but I beg to differ...
    I'm not sure where in the world you are located, but my "experience" involved visiting the Leeds store and confusing everyone with this issue. I can tell you, just by the looks on their faces, they had never been faced with this problem before!
    I suggested my phone was rolled back to the version it was previously to establish whether this was the underlying issue. I was asked whether my phone had been backed up and as it had the "genius" proceeded to restore the phone "as it came out of the factory" to quote him.
    When this was completed the phone was still doing the same thing and I was advised "the software update must have highlighted a hardware issue." I was told it would have to be physically repaired and was told to have this done by a third party as Apple would charge approximately £160. Incidentally, I work in IT and repair PC's, laptops and mobile devices for a living and made a point of raising that a sleep/wake button ribbon cable for an iPhone 4S can be bought on eBay for as little as £3.00...if indeed it does need replacing, which I suspect it does not.
    Anyway, so now I was left with a phone for the rest of the day which was blank and still the problem remained. On the train, on the way home, you can then imagine my disbelief when I actually took the time to look at my phone's configuration and realised that iOS version 7.1 was still installed, so obviously the issue would still remain. So the visit to the "genius bar" was a complete waste of time as I'm still in the very same position, and I still blame the 7.1 update for this...let's home 7.2 is released very shortly and this solves the issue...
    I have downloaded the package to roll the version back to 7.0 but I'm a little reluctant to carry this out yet as I would expect Apple to so the issue they have caused. This is NOT hardware related but software.
    I seriously think Android is calling me...
