Problem with power plug

Hey,
So I have gone through three power adapters so far due to fraying and I just had to buy a new one. When I plug it in the light usually goes on but it doesn't charge unless I wiggle the plug around and twist it to the side. The power cord is brand new and has done this since I started using it a couple weeks ago. I have tried to clean out the part in my macbook where the plug goes with a dry toothbrush but that didn't fix anything.
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thanks
Spencer

See if any of these tips help.Use and cleaning of MagSafe power connector
You may have a bad connector on the MacBook side. You should have it looked at by Apple before it damages your computer.

  • My HP Notepad 6730b has a problem with power

    Hi all,
    My HP Notepad 6730b has a problem with power. I can't power into the laptop. I have checked the power adapter and it works fine. No lights flash when i plug it into power. Can any one please help??

    IPad bought on May 29. This is the first attempt to use. I also bought the screen protector and apparently the problem started after I installed the shield and the battery charged, which was low.
    I followed the instructions, made ​​the recovery at iTunes, sync, but I could not turn on the Touch Screen. The clock remains stopped at 9AM. I will try an Apple store in Brazil to see what is happening and then notice what happened. Best regard and thanks for the help

  • I keep getting a message about a problem with the plug in container for firefox. what does it mean?

    I am getting a pop up box saying that there is a problem with the plug in container for firefox. It keeps saying do I want windows to find a fix for it and close it or do I just want to close the program. What is this plug in container for firefox and why am I constantly getting this message? It has been happening for the past month or two.

    It means either you have a faulty/out of date plugin, or your firewall/antivirus is causing problems with Firefox.
    Make sure you update all your plugins and disable unwanted ones.

    Also, make sure your firewall/antivirus is not blocking plugincontainer.exe from the Firefox folder in your computer. How you make sure that's not the case will depend on your firewall/antivirus.

  • Problem with search plug-in in ver 5.9

    Hello
    I have a problem with search plug-in when you type some key words and press search button it works fine, but if you press enter jou have following error:
    Whoops. Something broke.

    Our technical people have been notified.
    We're sorry for the inconvenience.
    Thanks
    Greg.

    Grzegorz, I'm going to guess this is a problem with the version you're using. We're using 2007.0.620 and whenever we hit enter on the field instead of the search button itself it returns no results. As far as I can tell, it's a bug in the system.
    It looks like updating to the latest version (624) isn't helpful either, although both 620 and 624 remove that nasty explosion that you're getting and instead just return the same page with no search results.
    There may be a way to edit some code-behind to detect when a postback is being made, although given the locked nature of Web Tools I doubt it. If you can find a way to have the button be recognized, let me know - otherwise, I'd say it's a bug that needs to be addressed in the next version.

    Motion 3 won't open citing problems with "Ozone plug-in" - Anybody ever experienced this? I tried dumping all motion app's and reloading but same thing happens. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Motion 3 is part of Final Cut Studio 2. There are many threads on these boards about trying to get those apps to install properly on OS versions above 10.6.8. Here's one such thread. A search will bring up additional ones.

  • I'm having serious problems with Lightroom plug in for Facebook not working on my iMac. Help!

    It started about a month ago with LR4. I kept getting problems with not being able to publish to Facebook because of problems with the plug-in which had been working perfectly up to then. I had a run round that worked by disableing and reloading the plug in. I upgraded to LR5 but the problem persisted and in fact just became worse. I can no longer publish to facebook from LR. I deleted the LR app in facebook as someone advised but now I cannot re-authorise with Facebook. When I go to the "connect" buton nothing happens. This is a serious problem that may make me reluctantly abandon Lightroom if I cannot find a solution. Can anybody help?

    According to the Lightroom Facebook page, Facebook broke it and Facebook has to fix it- there is no ETA.

    weird problem with power shut down  msi nforce 4 platinum

    it seems the first question has been solved. cos today when i turn on pc, the oc set up is gone ,in bios, it back to the original set up.i cant save my oc setup, so it definitely a battery problem!!!!!!!!!!!
    i take the old battery t o a saler , there they massure it with voltmeter, it shows only 0.97v, but in bios 1.6 it shows 1.82v, so waht is the real meaning of that reading num in bios for battery?it cant be the real voltage of the battery. i buy a new one ,this one is maxcell 2032   hitachi, the old one is shi  t   panansonic 2032 .the new one shows 3.17v with voltmeter, then i come back , installed the  new battery , in bios this time it shows 2.3v in bios 1.6. so the reading num in bios for battery is definitely is not a real reading for your battery.
    i will keep my pc in 24/7 using , and i will look if the battery is sable or not , cos untilll now no one come out for a real explain for this  stupid battery problem of msi nofroce 4 platinum.i dont want change battery every 2 or 3month, what a real sick of this!!!!

  • Problem with Extensis plug-in with Adobe CS6

    I have a Mac running version 10.8.5 OS X and I also have Adobe CS6. I recently update Suitcase Fusion to their newest version (Suitcase Fusion 5) and since then I've been having a lot of problems with CS6. Every time I start the program it gives me the message: "The Extensis plug-in could not locate a running copy of the FMCore application. Auto - activation plug-in functionality will be disabled". I'm not sure how to fix this, so I would appreciate any help!

    What does Extensis say?
    From where I sit, the error message is telling you that you only updated the plug-in but not the application itself.  But only Extensis can clarify that.

  • I HAVE I PROBLEM WITH POWER BUTTON

    HI.......I had a problem with the power button, with less than 6 months of use, I had to warranty apple here in Brazil, to my surprise they said I would have to refer to the country that I bought in the USA ... and that guarantee that it was said that international.
    very frustrating

    Your iPhone warranty/support is only valid in the US. Thus, to obtain any service you will have to physically return the phone to the US...you can't mail it directly to Apple. You can send it to a friend/relative, in the US, and they can take it to Apple for you.
    You will not receice any authorized service, in Russia, for this phone.

  • Problem with power button

    hi, I bought my iphone 5 last year in November. It seem to have some problem with its power button cause it doesn't work when i press it. Its still under warranty but the problem is im not anymore in the country i purchased it from which was UK and now im in Pakistan. Any help as to what my options are now?

    Apple doesn't do such repairs only.
    The iPhone would be exchanged under warranty by Apple only and that is your ONLY option if you don't want to pay for a 3rd party there to try to repair it.
    An iPhone purchased in a EU country can be exchanged under warranty in any other EU country.

  • I recently downloaded and installed Lightroom 5.7.1 problems with Flickr plug-in.

    I recently downloaded and installed lightroom 5.7.1 and am having numerous problems with the Flickr plug-in.  All Videos uploads creating error messages.  Many photo uploads creating error messages.  Something about API error.  Also, my photo count after is different within the app then it is on Flickr website.

    It really isn't clear what you are asking. If you are looking for the profiles for your cameras you would go to the calibration tab in the develop module and click to choose from different profiles. Profiles will only be available for raw files, including DNG files.

  • Lenovo T60 Strange problems with 'power management/power guage'

    Guys
    Since doing a system update my battery guage keeps displaying a grey guage with 3 - inside and if you run the mouse of the icon it says "Battery Not Installed" then 1 minute later it goes green with 100%. Its so random all i can imagine is that there is a problem with the power mangement software, but i have uninstalled the new version and installed an older version but this again doesnt work
    I have tried to disable the PM driver from device manager and the Atmel TPM device but these do nothing
    I have heard that this was quite common but cant find a solution
    Can anyone help
    Regards
    This was found doing a google search
    I have a strange issue. I have a Lenovo T60 laptop and I am experiencing problems with the power management/power guage.
    It will often show the battery not installed (power gauge is a greyish-white color with dashed lines) or it shows a red X. It does not matter if I am on AC power or on Battery power, it will show the full range of power, battery level, not installed, or an error.
    I have searched Lenovo's site and I seem to remember seeing an FAQ about this, but now that I need it, I cannot find it.
    What can I check or do to stop this? While it is annoying, I am not sure if I am having a battery problem or not. I did check my battery on Lenovo's site to see if it was recalled and it is not.
    I do appreciate any help that any one can give me.

  • Ipod Mini - Problem with power

    Hi all!!!
    i've got a problem with my Mini Ipod.
    Suddendly it seems that the battery of my Ipod doesn't recharge. I've changed computer (both with Windows XP) and cable and i've tried also with an iHome alarm clock/Radio. But nothig seems to work so i think that the problem is with the iPod.
    Forward the Ipod seems to "tilt" because sometimes when i connect it to the pc the monitor freezes with the picture of the battery recharging but it's frozen and i need to reset it also after i have to disconnect it from the PC.
    May some of you can help me giving some good advice!!
    thanks and bye
    Dario

    Not too sure, but I believe it is the time to have the battery replacement for your iPod mini. Normally, the battery needs to be replacement after 18-24 months

  • Problems with InDesign Plug-ins in CS6

    Every time I launch InDesign CS6 a bunch of pop-up boxes appears. They all have to do with some plug-ins it cannot register. I think this causes the sudden shut down of the program when I want to pick a different color.?
    Anybody knows how to fix this?
    These are the plug-ins it concerns:
    Color Picker Panel plug-in
    Swatches Panel plug-in
    Transparency UI plug-in
    Find and Change Panel plug-in
    I am certain that the plug-ins are in the right folders, however it does not work...
    Thanx

    See Replace Your Preferences and if that doesn't do it, see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup for a list of other things to delete from the original account.
    When all else fails, rename the Adobe folders in your user library (remmber, there are TWO folders, anf they're hidden, so see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion) and copy the ones from the guest account.
