I have pluged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?

I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
Help.

BB1B2,
The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
Sorry,
Clinton

My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?

I would do another SMC reset. If nothing changes you should take the computer in to an Apple store for a free diagnostic. You should make an appointment.

USB ports in my macbook pro stop working

For a few months now the USB ports in my Macbook Pro stop working. The mouse is unable to move the pointer, therefore, I have to use the trackpad to select things. Then, when i try to shut it down it refuses to shut down, so I have to hold the on/off button to turn it off. When I turn on the laptop, the problem goes away. It's been happening more often for the last few weeks. Is there a problem with the software or is it the fact that I never used a base to raise the laptop, until recently, to let air in below so it doesnt heat up so much?
Any help is appreciated.

My macbook pro stopped working

my macbook pro stopped working when i was out of town. i took it to an apple certified repairing store and they told me that as my waranty period was over 1 month back i have to pay 800-900$ to repair it. I would like to know if I buy an apple care now will it still cover the repairing cost?
I also need to know what are the different repairings are supported by apple care.

Hey AbdullahAbudiak
It would be hard to determine that at this point, but check out the articles below to get you going on isolating if it is hardware or software.

Why did my MacBook Pro stopped working

Hey,
Yesterday my MacBook Pro stopped working (got stuck on the opening screen with the spinning wheel)
I fixed it..but my question is what made it do this?
Thanks,

Oh - your profile shows 10.8 - which is Mountain Lion.
There's no telling what could cause a one-time event like that - could be any number of things - but if it happens again, call back.

Power Adapter for 17" MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (Mid 2009)

I'm curious to know if i can use a power adapter from an older 17" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz (Mid/Late 2007) with a brand new 17" MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (Mid 2009). Both are 85w i believe - but i wasn't sure about the new battery with this new computer.
Thanks

i would like to say, power adapters are of no tricks. They just provide voltage, current, and also the quality of them. When i say quality, it means how stable they can provide. All good functioning power adaptors should have an acceptable quality. So this is not a concern.
Then, what is going on with the "power"? No matter how many watts, there are _*no differences*_. What you have to consider is: unless it cant boot up your system, or it is not capable to charge while you are working (lower watt will just charge slower), or it has some serious problems when you are doing some high energy consuming tasks (like playing 3D games, video converting). Otherwise, the power adaptor is said to be providing enough power, and nothing to be worried about =]

Power adapter issues using MacBook Pro in European countries?

Are there any known power problems with the new MacBook Pro in European countries such as United Kingdom, France or Italy assuming that I use one of the plug adapters in the "Apple World Travel Adapter Kit"?
Also, is it advisable to provide more protection between the electrical source and the computer than what the computer already handles such as a currency/voltage type converter?
Adapter Kit: http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8794G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA2Nw&mco=MjE0NjQ4NQ

The MagSafe adapter is designed to work with 110-240 volts so it's fine to use across those countries with the World Adapter Kit (I have one too). The only issue you might come across is earthing, i.e. you could feel a tingle in your palms when using some power supplies due to lack of proper earth connection.
Your alternative is to take your regular power lead and purchase a plug adapter, then you're more likely to get an earth connection and no tingle.
There's no real need for surge protection but it won't hurt.

Backlight on macbook pro stopped working

Hi,
I am new to apple, I purchased a second hand macbook pro 15" recently (1.83Ghz 2GB Ram, 220GB HDD). I'm pretty sure it has the most recent vesion of Leopard (cannot confirm). The only real issue with it was the battery life (about 15mins)
anyway, I recplaced the battery yesterday... when I tried to turn the machine on the screen lights up "as normal" I get the apple startup chime.... but then the screen just goes dark.. You can kind of see the desktop and windows etc if you tilt the screen toward the light but there is zero backlighting. I tried the F1 & F2 keys, nothing :-/
I plugged my PC monitor into the DVI port and it works fine. So, I managed (with great difficulty) to get the system prefs open and onto the secondary monitor. When I click "displays" it just hangs with the spinning rainbow cursor and never actually opens the display preferences.
To make matters worse I thought I'd try starting the computer from the OSX leopard DVD... which worked, but still no backlight whatsoever. So it's in DVD boot mode now... cannot seam to eject the disc either.
Yes, I tried with the old battery... no love
I'm happy to take it in to get fixed if I have to... But I'm wondering if anyone knows what is going on with it, or if there is something I've done to it..
Cheers
Dan

Welcome to Apple Discussions and the world of Mac. Hopefully subsequent experiences will be better than your initial one.
It sounds like the second hand MBP has an inverter problem. The inverter is a high voltage circuit that powers the fluorescent lamp that backlights the LCD display. That kind of failure is a hardware failure so a repair will be required.
Since you have an external monitor, do you also have a USB mouse and keyboard? If you do, you can use the MBP with the lid closed with all those external peripherals attached and it should make controlling the Mac easier without the internal display working. Just attach the external monitor, mouse and keyboard and the MBP's power adapter and hit the start button on the MBP and then immediately close the lid on the MBP. That should cause the internal screen to stay off and only the external screen to be used. Alternately, if the MBP is already running, if you close the lid, it should go to sleep. Then, keep the lid down, and hit the space bar on the external keyboard and that should wake the MBP up with only the external screen active. The power adapter needs to remain attached to the MBP for the above the work. Good luck.

Replacement power adapter for 2008 MacBook Pro

Does anybody know if you can get a replacement power adaptor for the 2008 MacBook Pro. Mine crapped out and I'm freaking because the one they have for sale does not look like it will work, help PLEASE!!!!

If I think I know what your saying, it sounds like the store only had the Magsafe 2 connectors for the new model Macbook Pro's. The good news is yes stores still sell both Magsafe 1 and Magsafe 2 adapters. My advice would be to just take your adapter into the store and show the sales person what you need.

The volume keys on my MacBook Pro stop working after using headphones.

The volume keys on my MacBook Pro recently stopped controling the volume after I've used headphones. I still have sound; I just can't make the volume increase or decrease. The mute, however, still works just fine. Because I have sound from the intenral speakers I know the computer doesn't think the headphones are still in the jack. A reboot fixes the problem, but as soon as I use headphones the problem starts up again. I want to fix this permanently.
I don't know if this helps but all the other keys (brightness, play/pause, etc) still work. I recently had to reset the PRAM because my computer refused to sleep when the lid was shut. I've checked system preferences and everything seems to be in order.
Can someone please help!?

I found this advice on another thread after encountering the same problem - I did the reboot and it worked fine and dandy!
I spoke with Applecare to fix my Macbook volume. Apparently there are pins inside the speaker/headphone jack that can get jammed. We fixed mine by doing some sort of reboot:
Turn off laptop.
Hold down the Option, Command, P, and R keys (all four at once, it's tricky!) and while holding down the four keys, turn on the computer. When you hear the second chime, release the four keys.
This re-set the sound toggle to internal speakers. Now I'm afraid to insert headphones again, but I assume this reboot will work over and over.

After updating my MacBook pro it shows only a folder with question mark on it
It is not my fault, Apple updates problem
They should solve it fir me without make any payment
Thanks

Try starting your computer holding down the option key as soon as you hear the startup sound, and continue holding it. Hopefully, you will see the icon for your startup disk come up on your screen within a minute. Click on that icon and press return. If your machine starts up normally from there, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and reselect your startup volume

Macbook Pro stopped working after installing updates

My friend has exactly the same macbook as I do, a few hours ago he did some software updates (more then 10). After his macbook restarted it go stuck in the grey screen with the apple logo. After 15minutes it automatically restarted again, and it keeps doing that...
We've tried safe mode boot, PRAM, and all the other stuff but nothing works. We're on vacation so we don't have the installation DVDs.
What should we do?
Thanks.

Hello faab:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I am afraid to indicate that you probably will need to wait until you are back and have the software install DVD.
There is really no way to tell what happened. To fix it, however, you really need the DVDs.
