Power adaptor light flashing orange to green

starting this morning my power adaptor seems to have an issue. the light keeps flashing back and forth bewteen orange and green. and therefore the computer wont really charge. it will operate plugged in this way though.
last week part of my cord did get damaged. the little bumpy part right next to the plug that goes into the computer. the first little bump of the three somehow came off. there does not seem to be a hole or tear in the cord under where it was though.
what purpose does that section serve? is that what is causing my problem?
any ideas?
my computer is one year and one month old, grrrr no longer under waranty...

Hi Michelle,
Given the sloppy design of the iBook, including its power adapter, I would suggest you bite the bullet and buy a new adapter. Otherwise your iBook's DC board may be damaged.
Resetting the PMU helps, as does unplugging both ends of the pwr adapter, waiting for at least 1 minute and plugging it back in. BUT, since you're sure the cable is broken, GET A NEW ONE!
I had a similar problem with my power adapter for my 3-month old iBook, except that the light would suddenly not turn green at all. The cord and the rest of the adapter were intact. I was lucky I still had 7 months of warranty left and got a new adapter from Apple. So far everything is ok.
Good luck, Michelle!

    I was checking another thing, usually the switches we use here in my work supports a maximum of 14W per port or 15.4w, this wap is consuming 15.2w
    Is this the problem??
    the strange to me is that,in this same sw I have several WAP and they all use 12.2w
    The device type in sw for WAP usually appears as LAP1131AG-AIR-E-K9 ... but this WAP appears as Ieee PD ...

  • Magsafe light flashes orange/green

    I've just bought a used MBP 2.2 MHZ which operates fine except for switching back and forth between charging modes when the battery is around 85% full. The magsafe light stays orange a few seconds, then shows green for a second, then back to orange; the charging indicator on the screen switches at the same time. I swapped to a known working magsafe charger - same result. Operating on battery power is also a bit strange, with the available percentage of battery jerking around. Looking around, I see some 2007 and 2008 threads about this issue, but no final resolution at that time. Is there now a "bottom line" to this problem? Thanks!

    No, it's not a battery calibration issue - but it could be a bad battery. The flashing MagSafe is a hardware issue. Since the SMC is the controller for power systems, resetting it is about all you can do for 'software' type of fix. If that doesn't correct it, the problem is either with the adapter itself (which you apparently ruled out), with the battery, or with an internal component (more likely the left I/O board, but possibly also the logic board itself).
    The fact that your available percentage jumps around points to a deeper problem (time remaining can jump around depending on system load, but % charge should go in only one direction when running on battery).
    Given your symptoms, I'd be inclined to try a replacement battery first, before looking inside the case for a problem.
    If there's an Apple Store near you, make a Genius Bar appointment and let them have a look - they will be able to test the battery as well.
    If you like, post your Full Charge Capacity and Cycle Count (from Apple menu > About this Mac . More Info > Power) for a preliminary diagnosis...

    Hi,
    Broadband has stopped working with a flashing orange & purple broadband light (7 days and counting)
    Have phoned bt but they failed to resolve the issue over phone - resetting, power off/on etc. Tried 4 different branded adsl filters, alternative router but still no connection.

    you appear to have tried everything suggested by BT for purple/orange flashing constantly and not solved the problem.  the help pages then say if that has failed then contact technical support but I would contact the forum mods instead for help

  • Power-plug light ring LED - always green?

    Ok, here is a really dumb question, but something I noticed.
    I have an iBook G3 Dual usb. Full specs at bottom.
    When ever I plug it into power, the ring lights up green. My friend has a power book. when he plugs his in, his lights up orange when it is charging and green when it is done and using AC power. Mine is always lit of green regardless if the battery is charging, the battery is full, or even if there is no battery installed.
    Shouldn't my plug light up orange when it is changing as well? It seems all the power books, newer iBooks, and all modern apple laptops like the MacBook and MacBook pro all do this - so why is mine left behind?
    I bought this second handed, so I asked the original owner if it was the ORIGINAL battery and ORIGINAL charger that came with the iBook when she bought it. She said everything is all original. I then told her about this and she said it has always lit of green that she could remember of and never knew about the orange/changing state.
    So whats going on? is there a way to enable this "feature" or has this power adapter or battery been defective since day one?
    Other the that it works fine. It charges fine, and battery lasts around an hour. This isn't something I'm going to run out and buy new just because it dosn't light up the color I want, I am just simply asking if this is normal for these older iBooks.
    Thanks for any info anyone can provide!
    -Scott

    nope, that didn't do it. I have reset the PMU many times when troubleshooting all my other problems, but I just tried it again, but still no help.
    I'm not going to worry about it, as it seems to operate just fine (remember the original owner used it this way for 7 years and it worked fine then)
    I just wasn't sure if the G3 iBooks did this or not. But I guess they do, and mine just has a "bug," oh well.
    I'll leave the question open in case anyone else wanted to share there experiences regarding this.
    Thanks
    -Scott

    You are very welcome, again.
    I have a preference for Corsair Products.  I suggest a PSU of at least 500W; 600 is even better.  Modular is a good way to go in smaller mid-size cases.  You only have to use the cables that are needed to connect a component.  This allows for more space for good airflow.

  • Broadband light flashing orange. A "copper line fa...

    Hi all
    on Friday 20/01/12 i was using the internet as normal, no weather problems or anything abnormal happening and then as i woke on Saturday 21/01/12 i noticed my broadband (hub 3) had a blue power light, a blue wireless light but a flashing orange light, i followed the steps on the website and restarted my homehub but the still had the same problem. i then changed the adsl filters still had the same problem even tried changing the adsl lead from the socket to the hub but still had the same problem i tried in 3 extension sockets and then also the main bt openzone socket but the problem was still the same.
    i then called the bt help line where they made me re iterate the same proccesses twice of what i had already done to then finally test my line and tell me there was a "copper line fault" and the problem would be reapired by 26/01/12. i recieved the email letting me know i would be able to track the fault however when i tried the "track a fault" link it gave me the error message of that the "Sorry we cant complete your request at the moment due to technical error. Please try again" and since the 21/01/12 i have still not recieved a fault update and after many attempts at "trying again" still unable to track the progress.
    The internet is crucial to my work and i need it to be running as soon as possible. i live in an apartment and have asked my neighbours if their phone line isnt working but theirs is still working and mine is the only one that isnt, i can't seem to understand how this has happened and why mine is the only one not working, and now with the phone line and broadband not working, my work will be suffering and the implications of not having the internet will be a big impact. 
    Is anyone else having a problem with tracking their fault or had this fault before and could offer some guidance?
    really need this fault to raised as urgent and not being repaired until 26/01/12 could cripple my work.
    Also for the days you are without bt vision, broadband and calls is there a way to gain compensation?
    Any help or advice would be brilliant.
    Thanks Bradley Kent

    If the Internet is vital to your work, you should have a backup plan, as some major faults can take weeks to fix.
    Good advice for a lot of people.
    For me the Internet/email is a hobby/pastime. If it went down for  a few days it would be an annoyance/inconvenience to me but thats all, but even i have a Three 3G MiFi wireless modem standing by. Just connect up, top up and go.

  • Flashing orange to green?

    Why is my power adapter cord flash from orange to green intermidtently? ... (about every 5 seconds)
    The percentage of the battery is now at 97%, and it seems like it was taking a longer amount of time to charge up.
    I also switched power outlet plugs, to see if it was just the plug i was using.
    any suggestions? I've already read the power/battery disscussion page for this topic, but I am still not sure what to do.
    thanks!

    This same thing has been happening to me. It started after the 10.5.1 update. I get the intermittent green-amber flashing on the charger. I can never get over about 95% charge before this occurs. Not only does this thing not charge all the way, I can't get it to discharge. The laptop shuts off (no warning or anything) around 30% charge. I hope this gets fixed in a hurry. My Macbook Pro isn't very mobile at the moment.

  • T61 Battery light flashes red and green

    Hello:
    My T61(type 8891) won't start. I'm getting a series of flashes from the battery and power lights:
    A/C power connected: power light flashes green alternately and battery light flashes green then red/green.
    AC off, battery installed: power light flashes green at the same time as the battery light flashes red/green.
    This happened twice before in the past 2 weeks. After about an hour, it booted up - no problem. This time, nothing.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    It started about one month ago - no known cause. The problem happened 3 times since then but each time it booted up by itself  after a half hour or so. A new motherboard is going to set me back plenty but f it's needed, I guess I must get it repaired. I'm quite handy at taking the laptop apart. I've replaced the hinge, and bezel.
    Maybe the fan is inoperable which may cause it to not boot up. Lately, I've been feeling exhaust air much warmer than before even if it's not being used. I blew the dust off it 3 weeks ago.
