Power Cable doesn't work

Last night when I was watching a film in 'DVD Player' I had my macbook white on charge. When I turned off the macbook and went to unplug it from the charging unit (it was not fully charged) I noticed that the white block on the power lead was seriously hot. I unplugged it from everything and went to sleep. Now though, when I plug it back in, the Macbook won't charge. The lights on the magsafe adaptor don't turn on and the laptop doesn't know there's a cable there.
Will it be a problem with just the fuse? Or something more serious?
Thanks

This is a recently common issue with Macbook Lith-ion batteries.
You have a defective battery, although AppleTech defines defective as a battery below 350 cycle counts. That's the lifetime of your $130 battery, which may average between 6-13 months depending on how you use it.
Some customers have had to buy 3 batteries in the past 2 years because AppleCare doesn't cover consumable items, eg. batteries.
check consumer comments at http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?fnode=h ome/shopmac/macaccessories/power&revw=MA561LL/A
I'm hoping Apple will realize that a $130 macbook battery with a 350 cycle count lifetime, doesn't live up to "Apple" standards. Lith-ion batteries are known to have a 2-3 year lifetime not 6-13 months.
Customers shouldn't have to purchase AppleCare only to realize they have to continuously purchase new batteries every 6-13 months.
This is truly a manufacturer defect in my personal opinion.

  • Volume and Power button doesn't work..how do I fix?

    My son's volume buttons or the power button doesn't work.  Is there something I can do to fix these issues?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Upgraded to iOS6 and now charging cable doesn't work

    I just upgraded to iOS6 n my iPhone 4, and now my charging cable doesn't work.  No...it's not an "official" Apple charger, but even the usb cable doesn't work when I plug it into my computer.  If I plug my iPad charger into it, it works fine.  How can the new operating system determine what kind of usb charging cable it "wants" to accept?  This charger and cable worked flawlessly before the OS upgrade.

    Same problem here. I use a wall charger and have had success by unplugging the charger from the wall, plugging the adapter into the iPhone, then plugging charger back into wall. Had the same problem with a car charger and got the phone to charge using the same procedure. I'd love to know if this works for you. Good luck!

    if my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

    I had a lightning cable, that came with my iPhone 5s, that frayed and broke at the connector.  I took the cable and phone into the Apple Store and they exchanged the cable for a new one with not a question asked.  Good experience.
    I think part of it is that the design of the Apple cables is quite flimsy especially at the connector and I think they see a lot of them fail.

    It's covered under the same warranty as the phone. So long as it's not physically damaged, they should replace it for you.

    Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    The warranty is not and has never been International.  Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is for devices sold in the EU where the EU is treated as one country for warranty and support purposes.

    I was in the middle of texting my mom and the screen stopped working! It only stopped working in the middle but i can't even turn it back on because my password numbers won't work when i touch them! I also cannot reboot my ipod because the power button doesn't work! I need help on fixing this problem please!!

    Try as best you can with broken button.:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    For MAC or PC

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Power adaptor doesn't work

    My power adaptor doesn't work at times. I have to jiggle in and hold it in at just the right position, for it to work. Would Apple replace a faulty power adaptor like that? Alternatively, is there anything I can do about it?
    Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.

    Apple will typically replace a faulty power adapter if you are still within your one year warranty period and there are no clear signs of abuse. Just give them a call... or, if you have an Apple store nearby, bring it in. If you go to a store, you should bring your MacBook in as well just to be sure that the problem isn't related to an issue on the MacBook side vs. just the charger.

    wait it for your iPhone to die then before it turns it plug it into iTunes while holding the home button and it will force it into recovery mode.
    will be hard to get the timing right cause u will need to wait for the battery to die and charge up again. Other then that just take it to apple and have them replace the device for a fee.
