Power cord is not working

My Powerbook G4 cord is plugged into the jack, but it won't light up - and consequently won't charge.  Is the cord broken?  Can I charge the computer any other way?

To find out if it is the cord that is at fault, check with a circuit tester, or get a replacement cord.
If no change you have a problem with the power supply of your old Powerbook.

  • My AC Power Cord is not working! What should I do?

    I realised that my Macbook Pro was not charging today, so I tried to reset my SMU and PRAM. It didn't work. I took out the AC Power Cord and used the 60W MagSafe Power Adapter instead (I attached the AC Power Cord to the adapter to increase the length). My Macbook started charging, so I guess the problem lies in the AC Power Cord! What should I do? Should I send it to be checked to confirm that there's a problem with the cord, or can it be repaired?

    The cord can be checked with an ohmmeter. 
    Do you have one or do you have any friends that might have one?

  • Keyboard clicking sounds or power cord sounds not working.  Mute is off.

    All of a sudden, the sounds when using the keyboard and attaching the power cord to charge the battery don't work.  I have checked and my iTunes app has sound and the mute function is off.  I've turned sounds off, powered off, turned sounds back on and powered off.  Can't figure out what happened.

    In spite of what you said about sounds not being muted, what you are describing is exactly what happens when SYSTEM sounds are muted. You also do not list which iPad you are using and which iOS you are running. If you have the iPad Air 2, you do not have a side switch so your system sounds will be controlled in the control center,
    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7 or iOS 8. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Froze on black screen and power button does not work

    my sons ipod touch is stuck on a black screen when plugged into the computer got a spinning wheel and will not connect now spinning wheel will not go away the power button does not work so can not reset it manually
    any suggestions would be appreciated

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Neglect the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of thes programs
    - 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.

    Running an old MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 Duo. Battery went chemical meltdown and expanded out of its housing. Removed it and was running off the power cord. This worked for a while. Now it won't start up. Have a Replacement on order. Is there a bigger issue or does a battery need to be in the compartment to boot up? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Working battery needs to be in for the computer to function.

  • My ipad has a black screen and the power button is not working. Help!

    This is the second time my ipad screen has gone black. The power button is not working. I reset the ipad about two weeks ago  when this happened. However, this time I am not able to get itunes to recognize the device. It keeps asking to respond from the ipad (obviously with a black screen that isn't going to happen). Im not sure what to try next...thoughts?

    Have you tried to give it a reset?
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.

  • How can i restart my phone if the power button is not working?

    My power button is not working and my phone freezes every now and them. I read I should restart it. Is there another way to restart it without using the power button?
    Also, I use the on-screen assistance icon but it does not have a power off option.

    That's correct.  Because how would you turn it back on again if the screen was off and your power button was on the screen?
    Yo need to fix the button, or try letting the iPhone die out completely, then connect it to power and after it's charged for a while, see what happens when you press the Home button.

  • My iphone power button is not working. What can I do?

    Hello, I bought an iphone 5 last year and it still in warranty . It has some regular scratches for the use but it never felt down.
    The power button is not working now and I sent to an apple retailer here in Brazil (SOMA - Revenda APPLE Solution Expert e Assis. Tecnica Autorizada) to fix it. They refuse to do it saying that the button is not working because of  the scratches what I believe is not true. And the retailler suggest to me to buy a new one.
    And more, I receive the iphone with the factory configuration and I don’t know why.
    I would know what can I do to fix the iphone. And How can I use the warranty here in Brazil.
    I couldn't find an e-mail from apple.com support to report this.
    I will stay in US next december. I can fix my phone in an Apple Store?
    I'm very dissapointed with the technical assistance here in Brazil.
    Thank You

    Meaning that you cannot restart or reset the phone?  If you haven't tried already, try both options.
    Otherwise, you can do a backup & restore, or even a restore as new (only after a successful backup).
    If the issue persists, then look at a replacement. Either it will be a hardware defect (free if within warranty), or physical damage ($49 with AppleCare Plus, $149 without it.)

But when I connect it to chrger then Charger only gives green light and even the external round button only shown 4 green lights (if charger connected). I don't know what to do now

    Sounds like you need a #1SMC Reset
    1. SMC reset
    >>Instructions to reset SMC
    Disconnect other non-Apple and external hardware except (if applicable) a mouse and keyboard until your finished repairing your machine.
    Problems solved: Fans blowing with no activity, machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor and graphics issues etc.  If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile afterwards.
    Will not hurt the machine resetting if it's not broken.
    Other related hardware problems (optional):
    Check battery status: Hold option/alt key down while clicking on the battery icon in the menu bar, top right corner.
    Magsafe: Use the correct/matching power supply charger with your Mac, not a less powered one from another Mac.

    Jailbreaking your iPhone forfeits your ability to receive any support on that phone, including from this forum.
    You'll have to search elsewhere for answers to your issue.
