Replacement power adapter for 2008 MacBook Pro

Does anybody know if you can get a replacement power adaptor for the 2008 MacBook Pro. Mine crapped out and I'm freaking because the one they have for sale does not look like it will work, help PLEASE!!!!

If I think I know what your saying, it sounds like the store only had the Magsafe 2 connectors for the new model Macbook Pro's. The good news is yes stores still sell both Magsafe 1 and Magsafe 2 adapters. My advice would be to just take your adapter into the store and show the sales person what you need.

  • Power Adapter for 17" MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (Mid 2009)

    I'm curious to know if i can use a power adapter from an older 17" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz (Mid/Late 2007) with a brand new 17" MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (Mid 2009). Both are 85w i believe - but i wasn't sure about the new battery with this new computer.
    Thanks

    i would like to say, power adapters are of no tricks. They just provide voltage, current, and also the quality of them. When i say quality, it means how stable they can provide. All good functioning power adaptors should have an acceptable quality. So this is not a concern.
    Then, what is going on with the "power"? No matter how many watts, there are _*no differences*_. What you have to consider is: unless it cant boot up your system, or it is not capable to charge while you are working (lower watt will just charge slower), or it has some serious problems when you are doing some high energy consuming tasks (like playing 3D games, video converting). Otherwise, the power adaptor is said to be providing enough power, and nothing to be worried about =]

  • Is this power supply (A1185 10.8 V, 55Wh) compatible with  New White 60W 16.5V 3.65A Laptop AC Adapter Supply Magsafe Power Charger For Apple Macbook pro A1184 A1185

    Is this power supply (A1185 10.8 V, 55Wh) compatible with  New White 60W 16.5V 3.65A Laptop AC Adapter Supply Magsafe Power Charger For Apple Macbook pro A1184 A1185

    All of the A1181 polycarbonate MacBooks use the A1184 60W MagSafe power supply/charger and the A1185 battery. These are the Apple part numbers. Other manufacturers make equivalent replacement products, but the quality may not be acceptable.

  • Is light faulty on new 60w power adapter for my Macbook?

    Had to order a new 60w power adapter for my Macbook a couple of weeks ago -- bought it from the Apple Store (the new design adapter). When it's plugged in it turns green, then immediately turns red to recharge -- all normal. Once fully recharged the adapter light turns/stays green. But after awhile the adapter light goes out altogether. The icon shows it's charging, but the red (and green) light is off. If I remove the adapter and plug it back in the lights will come on again.
    Is this normal?
    Thanks.

    I think I'm experiencing the same problem. My computer charges but the light goes back and forth from being on or off, orange or green. I'm a little disappointed that the light could be burned out, but I guess a little light like that can't last forever. Oh well.
    Is it worth pursuing a replacement from Apple since I still have AppleCare? Just wondered.
    Anyway, this is really helpful information. Thanks for sharing.

  • Is there no external power option for new MacBook pro with dual core?

    Is there no external power option for a MacBook pro 17 with dual core. Apparently apple doesn't offer one and I can't ind any who does

    Given that the stumbling block to more flexible power options is the infamous patent-protected MagSafe connector
    The funny thing is, I've seen loads of cheap "replacement" MagSafe adapters on eBay, Amazon and in local shops. On eBay, they cost (new) about $26, on Amazon I've seen them as cheap as $17!!, against the $80 that Apple charges. And apparently, it's not worth it to pursue the matter, it's been going on for more than a year now.
    made of pure unobtanium and guarded by packs of rabid lawyers, someone is shooting themselves in the foot by making the power bricks so frail that the secondary damaged goods recovery market grows without bounds...
    I really dig that unobtainium reference :-)
    What I've found is that the bricks aren't so frail but the DC cord is! Apparently that's difficult to make resilient, with the characteristics that Apple wanted them to have. Out of every ten broken MagSafe adapters I've seen, only two actually have failed electronics, five have frayed DC wiring and three have a broken MagSafe connector.

  • Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro?

    I am travelling to Europe next week and will be travelling on the road quite often. I would like to get some work done during that time. My laptop battery will inevitably run out of power during that time and I would like to carry an additional power source with me so I can get some extra juice when I am nowhere near an outlet.
    I have the latest MacBook Pro where the battery is not removable.
    Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro? I don't mind if it is a 3rd party product.

    you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
    it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews.

    Then you are not looking very well. The first one in the list has compatible wifi adapters. Mavericks compatable wifi adapters are included in most of the results from my link.
    If there are not enough results included in the list try modifying my search term. Try this instead:

    There are dozens/hundreds listed.

  • Can i buy topcase replacement on ebay for my macbook pro retina 13" then bring it to apple to assemble it?

    No. If you want Apple to do the work, then you must also get parts from them. You can do the work yourself; you can look for certified Apple tech to do the work for you; you can take it to a non-Apple affiliated shop. Note that doing it yourself or taking it to a non-Apple shop will void your warranty and prevent Apple from performing any future service on the computer.

  • Buying the right replacement power adapter for HP Envy

    The original power adapter for my brother's HP Envy Touchsmart laptop has appears to have partially melted. I'm trying to find the correct adapter to use as a replacement, but I have questions because it looks like he will have to order one of the Smart adapters, which is not what he used originally. The product number is E0M27UA#ABA. If you need any more information just ask and I will try to post it as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance for any help you can give us.

  • Replacement power adapter for Gigaworks T20 speakers

    I need a replacement power supply for my Gigaworks T20 speakers. Where do you get this? The Creative Web site seems to have no information about where to get it, so any information would be appreciated.

    Try to find out universal AC/DC adapter at amazon/newegg, such as this one (U.K. version): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Regulated-2000mA-Adapter-P-007F/dp/B002YY9E/ref=sr__/275-2088-483635?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=262244783&sr=8- It has many plugs, one probably must fit. But before switching the power, one should figure out the polarity of connectors. It's not the first time Creative power supplies show below average reliability. I think Creative should choose top quality power adapter suppliers, such as Antec, Delta or Seasonic, not some cheaper lower quality parts.

  • Can I use adapter of the iphone (not the cable), to attach the power cable of a macbook pro bought in Canada? The power adpter for the macbook pro is two pins because it was bought in Canada. Thank you.

             Hi! I will get a macbook pro bought in Canada soon. Can I use the adapter plug of my iphone (ireland) not the cable, as the adapter to plug my macbook? The power adpter of the macbook from Canada is a two pin. Thanks for any help.

    I wouldn't, the Mac draws significantly more power than the iPhone. Why risk it.

  • Power adapter issues using MacBook Pro in European countries?

    Are there any known power problems with the new MacBook Pro in European countries such as United Kingdom, France or Italy assuming that I use one of the plug adapters in the "Apple World Travel Adapter Kit"?
    Also, is it advisable to provide more protection between the electrical source and the computer than what the computer already handles such as a currency/voltage type converter?
    Adapter Kit: http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8794G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA2Nw&mco=MjE0NjQ4NQ

    The MagSafe adapter is designed to work with 110-240 volts so it's fine to use across those countries with the World Adapter Kit (I have one too). The only issue you might come across is earthing, i.e. you could feel a tingle in your palms when using some power supplies due to lack of proper earth connection.
    Your alternative is to take your regular power lead and purchase a plug adapter, then you're more likely to get an earth connection and no tingle.
    There's no real need for surge protection but it won't hurt.
