Replacement power cable

The power cable for my iMac was destroyed. I am told at the iShop that I cannot purchase a replacement as they are not sold separately.  I was then warned not to use any other brand or I could damage the desktop.  Huh?? Where do I go from here?  Please help.

>> warned not to use any other brand or I could damage the desktop
I wouldn't have a problem using one short-term, the only issue that is w/o the circular surround, if the cable gets knocked/pulled it would put strain on the internals.

    where can i go or whom do i call to get a replacement power cable for 2410 all in one printer also i need the software to network it w/ my computer

    Do you need the power cord or the power module?  Is this the PSC 2410?  If it is the power cord you could find a replacement at many electronics or computer stores, it is a standard.  See HP's Partsurfer site for details.

  • Need replacement power cable

    Where can I get a replacement power cable for Airport Extreme? I found one at my local electronics store but it doesn't fit- it looks right and says it's for Airport extreme but it doesn't actually connect to the base station- it looks similar but doesn't fit, it might be a different/older model I guess?
    I'm not sure how to tell what airport I have, I didn't buy it, it was given to me by my sister(who lost the cable) but on the box it says 'MB053LL/A Model No. A1143' if that helps... Sorry this is somewhat vague, but anyway if anyone can point me at an online store where I might be able to get a replacement part (hopefully apple?) that'd be much appreciated.

    Unfortunately, Apple has been applying the term "Extreme" to AirPorts since their original 11g units. The power supply you want should be marked "A1202", and it has big round corners and a recessed Apple logo.

  • Replacement power cable for ATI Radeon 5770?

    I'm shopping around for a replacement graphics card for my Mac Pro and I've found several Radeon 5770s that don't have the PCIe power cable included.
    Does anyone know what sort of cable they use and if replacements can be purchased?

    yes it can be purchased but first, you are shopping for an Apple version, right?

    OWC shows the cable, they also sell separately (maybe why they charge more?)
    Amazon had customer photos but not showing one.
    I was under the impression that Apple would/was including the cable.

  • Replacement Power Cables for Deskjet 3050A Printer

    I have recently dug up my old printer, a HP Deskjet 3050A. However, I could not find any of the cables required to use it.
    I am looking to get a set of replacement cables, however I haven't been able to use the HP website as I couldn't find my item serial number. I have been unable to get in touch with HP because of this.
    Any advice on where to go/who to contact would be much appreciated.

    HP does not list the power adapter (or any other parts for the Deskjet 3050a) on their Partsurfer Site, but I have had good results in the past buying printer power adapters from eBay.  The results here may help.

  • I live in the US but am moving to the UK. I have a iMac and want to know if I can just exchange the power cable or will I need a transformer to be able to use it there?

    I have had my iMac for about a year and have just found out that I am moving to the UK from the US. I want to take it but I don't want to damage it. Can I just get a replacement power cable in the UK (like the international switchable plugs for iPads) or will I have to use a step-down transformer? Thanks

    Just the plug-end needs changed.  I the UK you should beable to find the cord that plugs into the back of the iMac and has the correct wall-end.

    I just purchased a new hp Pavilion dv7-6c95dx last week and now I can't get it to power up even when the power cable is connected to it.  The only light that comes on is an orange or red light where the power cable connects to it.  Any suggestions as to whats wrong?
    Hmm.. I experienced this once. I accidently touched the metal part inside of the USB slot with my microphone jack (its built very close to it) and the computer just shut off and wouldnt turn on.
    How I fixed it...
    I removed the battery and adapter so there was no power supply to the notebook. I held the power button down for 60 seconds to drain any remaining battery. I put the battery back in and then plugged in the adapter. I held the power button down again for 5 seconds and it started. If this doesnt help, i don't know what will.

  • Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
    How about this one?
    922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
    I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more!   My parts drawer is always full of them.  They like to knot up by themselves as well!  Maybe that's how they breed.

    All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

  • Replace SATA drive power cable

    One of the SATA drive power cables in my Power G5 2.0 DP died. Now I am using Y-splitter to get power from another port. It works but looks messy. I did quite a googling but I can only find power cable for iMac G5s. Could some one please tell me where to find replacements, or the definition of the pins so probably I can make one from the iMac version?

    Hi
    Any of the cables should work, the only differences being their length, one comes bundled with a SATA data cable and one is a splitter, allowing an ATA and SATA drive to be powered off the same existing molex connector. I'd just double check their male/female orientation before ordering though. It may be a shorter cable is better to reduce cable clutter inside the computer. I picked a SATA drive that included a legacy molex power connector on the drive itself, to keep the cable clutter to a minimum.

  • Charger/power cable replacement

    Hi there, I need to replace the charger/power cable on my 2008 1,1 Macbook air- I wonder if anyone knows whether a 2011 AIr cable would work ? Many Thanks

    Yes, it will work.  At some point in time, Apple changed the charging connector, and you may need to purchase an adapter form the Apple store.

  • 2010 Macbook Pro no longer recognizes drive, tried replacing HD+cable

    Hello,
    About a week ago during user sign-in my 2010 13" Macbook Pro froze. I forced restarted. Upon restart, I got the dreaded screen with the question mark folder. I did the usual, booted from the install CD. Installer couldn't locate drive to install to. Nor could disk utlity to repair anything. I suspected HD failure, so I replaced the drive with one I had on hand. The new HD was still not recognized by the system. I did put the old original drive back in, just to test it, and it actually did boot 1 time, but froze almost immediately. I put the drive in an external SATA enclosure and booted from USB. Booted fine, pulled off all my files, etc. So I then replaced the SATA cable. After replacing it, the computer did recognize the drive, but only if I held Option and told it to boot from the internal HD. Now I'm not getting the question-mark folder (unless I don't do the Option-select drive, in which case, if I do a normal power-button boot, I stlll get the question-mark folder), but instead, after selecting the drive, I'm getting a grey-screen with crossed-out circle (kernal panic?).
    Everything else seems to be working fine. I took it to an Apple Store, he ran a diagnostic on it, and all he could tell me was that the HD isn't being recognized. Is my motherboard or SATA port on the motherboard shot or something? If the MoBo shot, why would we go from not seeing the drive at all (hence the question-mark folder and it not being recognized under any situation), to me replacing the SATA cable and getting the supposed kernal panic symbol.
    Any thoughts?

    At the Apple Store, all I was told was that the computer was not recognizing the HD. No more than that. He told me a HD replacement would be upwards of $200. I took it to the Apple Store before I tried to do anthing myself. He suggested that it could either be the HD itself, or the cable. So, seeing as a HD replacment isn't brain surgery, and that I could do it for significantly less than $200, I did it myself. So I replaced the HD, that did nothing. After replacing the HD the computer would still not recognize its existence, under any circumstance. I tried Option, resetting PRAM, booting into recovery, booting from the install disk, launching disk utility, running the hardware diagnostic from the CD ... under all cases, the HD was not recognized. Seeing as it still wasn't recognized even with the new drive,  I replaced the SATA cable. Again, as stated in my description above, replacing the cable only changed the problem from not recognizing the HD at all, to recognizing it now (when, and only when I hold Option) and booting to the crossed-out circle screen. It doesn't even recognize it every time I hold Option to launch the StartUp Manager. Only a few times out of 10 will it even recognize its there. I also tried, once again, doing all the usual - resetting PRAM, CD install, recover, disk utility, etc... and none of those ever recognize its there. Its only the rare case that it will recognize the new-drive and new-cable configuration in the StartUp manager, I select the drive, and it boots only to the crossed-out circle grey screen.
    I have put the original drive in an external SATA enclosure and the computer will boot from it and works fine, except as would be expected, its incredibly slow because its running through a USB port instead of a SATA connection.
