Power adapter questions

Hi,
I have a "late 2004" 12" G4 ibook and a FW800 15" G4 Powerbook and one single power adapter left (one has stopped working). This is a A1021 65W power adapter. The first question is:
- can I use this power adapter for both laptop?
I have tried to purchase a second A1021 65W power adapter on ebay. So far I have purchased 2, These are , or they appear to be, genuine Apple A1021, 65W; but the problem is that the connectors, the one with the LED ring, will not fit in either of my laptops. This is the case for both power adapters, bought from different people. I am confused, because the adapter looks a genuine apple A1021, but the connector of mine fits perfectly in both laptop, while the connectors of these 2 don't. I have tried to spot the difference but the 2 connectors really look the same.
Has anyone any knowledge or experience with this type of problems?

Hi Bendetto,
You can use the 65W power adaptor with both the iBook and the Powerbook.
As long as the adaptor is white, it should fit into the Powerbook or the iBooks you specify. You may find the outer shield of the power adaptor is slightly deformed. Try to make it fit, using gentle force while rotating it. Once you make it fit, it will be fine for the future.

Power adapter question (T410 2537-DN1)

I have a thinkpad T410 (2537-DN1) and my original power adapter is seeing some wear and tear that I have temporarily fixed with some electrical tape. My adapter is currently a 60W/20V model. What I am wondering is that I still have an adapter from my old T60. It's a 90W/20V model. Can I safely use it on my T410? My research has found both yes and no suggestions but nothing solid. Ergo, I thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance,
kate

Sounds like you purchased the iPod Firewire Power Adapter, instead of the iPod USB Power Adapter.
If you want to keep the power adapter you purchased, you'll need to also get a 6-pin Firewire to Dock Connector cable.
Otherwise, you could return the power adapter you have and exchange it for the USB power adapter and use the cable which came with your iPod.

Using an existing USB Auto DC power adapter question please...

Thank you.

You shouldn't have any problem. Car chargers use a trickle charge, not a full powered charge.

Battery and Power Adapter Question

Hello:
I've seen several posts that address one issue or another but have not seen one that addresses both:
On my iBook G3 14" -
-Will not power up (have tried steps to reset power management).
-Battery light, when button is pressed, flashes several times (more than a dozen?)
-Power adapter light does not come on
Ordered a new battery but have seen that another possibility is the DC board.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Is there somewhere that lists the various meanings of the flashing battery lights?

Since the power adapter light doesn't come on, I would suspect that the adapter isn't working. (I don't want to insult your intelligence, but have you tried a different outlet?)

European Power Adapter Question

So I'm traveling to France next week and will be there for three weeks. I bought the global travel pack which has an adapter for European power. However, is using this adapter all I have to do? I don't have to "flip a switch" on the computer itself? Just plug in the adapter and go? I don't want to accidentally fry my laptop...

However, is using this adapter all I have to do?
Yes. Any power supply which is 100 to 240 volts and 50 or 60Hz can be plugged into the MacBook Pro without being converted. France uses 230 volts at 50Hz.

Power adapter question

In light of the recall on the US 3G wall plug adapter (did you all see that?) I'm wondering if there's any reason to not sue the adapter and cable from my old 10G "classic" iPod. Appears to be the same connector, & when I accidentally mixed them up one day, the old one seemed to charge the iPhone. I know I can't sync with that cable, but just for wall-power charging?
Thanks!

I believe the wall charger for the classic 10GB iPod is more than a few years old, which I also believe is based on charging via firewire only, not USB. Apple has been gradually removing support for firewire with iPods and the iPhone over the last few years. Charging via firewire is supported with my 5th generation classic iPod and with the first generation iPhone, but syncing via firewire is not supported with these devices. The firewire pins were removed from the iPhone 3G's dock connector, which is required for charging via firewire.

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.

Satellite C870-11G - AC power adapter compatibility question

I have a C870-11G.
It uses power adapter part no PA3917U-1ACA which recently became damaged when someone tripped on the cable and it bent the end which connects to the laptop.
I used to have a Toshiba C660D-10W a few years ago and still have the power adapter for that laptop, part no PA3714E-1AC3,
Does anyone know if this is compatible with my C870?
It seems to fit but I didn't want to try it incase it damages the battery or something.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

On the first pic you can see the values:
*19V* (Volt) *3.42A* (Ampere)
On the second pic you can find the same values.
So both AC adaptors provide the same volt and ampere values and should be compatible.

Question about the Power adapter

I just got my Macbook and I love it but I'm a bit confused as to the function of the power adapter. I plugged it in and it started to charge my battery. Is this supposed to happen? I thought the function of the adapter was to provide continuous power from an outlet supply. Maybe I'm under the impression that the second cord I received with my macbook is a power supply cord. Is it?

Also You can run the computer without your battery in but I believe it's not good for the computer.
This link explains the point you were making. MacBook reduces processor speed when battery is removed while operating from an A/C adaptor

Quick question about power adapter

Is it okay to leave the power adapter on for a long period of time? would it mess with the battery if its on power adapter for long? or once the battery is charged does the computer use the adapter or battery(which keeps charging)?
Its just that i want to leave my macbook on all night...waiting for an important email.
Thanks

It's not a problem. It won't affect your battery at all. I leave mine plugged in all the time using it for hours at a time sometimes. You'll be ok.
Hope the email comes so you can get some sleep!

Micro Photo Question... power adapt

I was looking at the package contents or whatever for the micro photo and I noticed that a power adapter or ac adapter is not included... so does that mean I need to pay extra to get one? Thats a little ridiculous.

You can charge it on your computer with the USB cable that comes with it or you can buy an AC adaptor. One thing with the adaptor is that it charges a little faster.

Power adapter - a questionable design...

Is anyone else having the same problem as I do? I am down in Asia where the power plugs stick out a bit from the wall - about 1 cm... This is enough for the power adapter to fall out from most of em and it's driving me crazy... Just about 2 minutes ago the adapter fell out of the plug and almost knocked me on my head...

Use the 6' AC cord that you received with your computer and adapter, instead of the little "duck head" attachment.
