T61 power adapter

i have a t61 with a 90w 20 v with a p/n92p1109 power supply but it will not power up does it need a specfic power adapter

Welcome to the forum!
That is a correct adapter for your ThinkPad. It may be defective, though.
Can you try and borrow another adapter somewhere to detrmine whether the issue is within the laptop or the adapter itself?
Cheers,

Hi, I am travelling and am currently in Jersey City, NJ. I left the power adapter for my T61p at home, and am wondering if I can find/borrow one in the Jersey City area until Jan 3rd.
Many thanks!

T61 power cords in japan

Hello,
I was hoping someone had an answer for me about getting a power cord that will work in Japan. I'm going for a year, and I don't want to mess about, I have a T61 Thinkpad here in the U.S. Is there a Lenovo power accessory so that my computer could be plugged directly into the walls there? I've heard and read that Japan has 100V outlets and while the AC adaptor that I have seems to be fine for plugging into the walls in Japan, I've read that "sensitive equipment" could be damaged, and I want to ensure that it will not happen to my computer.
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

The Lenovo power adapter is for 100 to 250 V... it will automatically switch depending on the voltage, so every country use this adapter, Japanese customer would also use the same adapter as you...
The only thing you need is to change the actual plug that goes into the AC socket, a travel adapter would be okay.

This is what the japan use, i think it is similar to the USA configuration? (there are two types sold in USA, one is with ground and another is without earth)...
which one do you have?

T61 power cables or connectors

I need some 10ft/3m extension power cables for T61 (output of power adaptor to actual laptop). Does anyone know of a source for these, or for suitable matching male/female connector pairs so I can get them made up. I need around 100 as a first order.
I would prefer a UK supplier, but would also look at other suppliers.

As far as I'm aware, no one has yet located the 20V style power connector (as used by Lenovo and some other equipment suppliers) as a separate, solder-connect part. It seems to only exist in moulded-onto-cable forms.
Is it practicable for you to run either main extension cables on the 240V side of the power adapter, or purchase longer mains power cords for the adapters?

Could I have got a new power adapter for free?

My power adapter for my mac stopped working recently and as far as I know I didn't cause any damage to it myself.
I read the following on the apple website:
Additional Information
Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.
Which seems to suggest that even out of warrenty, if the charger has broken of it's own accord you can still get a free replacement?
I took my adapter and mac to the shop, they said there were no signs of accidental damage but said I still have to pay for it. I referred to this statement from the website but they were very dismissive and kept saying it was out of warrenty. Perhaps i'm reading the statement wrongly.
Just wondered if anyone could clarify :-)

As you indicated, it depends on the results of the evaluation.
Apple takes responsibility when design faults cause certain failures, especially when it represents a safety concern. There have been a small number of cases where failure met certain characteristics that Apple deemed that it should not have happened, regardless of age or use.
I am reluctant to indicated the specificity of some of these issues, because for many reasons Apple would not want us speculating on the subject. Suffice it to say your product failure may not have met any particular characteristics associated with failures deemed to have extended coverage.
If your product failed for an unknown reason, or apparently a failure stemming from age or normal life expectancy use, and it was after the normal expiry of warranty, then no further consideration was given. You need to buy and pay for a new one, unless you yourself, can provide extenuating circumstances to consider.

HP Pavillion DV4 1123us power adapter problem

Hi,
After using the HP Pavillion DV4 1123us for two years suddenly I noticed that the power adapter is not supplying power to the computer and it is making some not too loud repeatitive sound. I replaced the power adapter with HP 90W Smart Power Adapter which worked fine for a few weeks and then I noticed whenever I connect this to the wall outlet it makes some repeatitive chirping sound and this is also not suppying power to the computer anymore. It behaves like this even when it is not connected to the laptop which indicates that there is some problem with the adapter and not with the internal powers supply of the laptop. It is so surprising that the replacement power adapter stopped working so early.
In my home all the other laptops are working just fine and and found all of them are two pin - only these two are three pin. Not sure if this has gota anything to do with this fault.
Any help on this matter will be highly appreciated.

AC Power Adapter issue with new (refurbished) ibook...

I just got my refurbished ibook today and went to plug it in and test it, and then wanted to charge the battery on it. At first I thought it wasn't doing anything when I went to turn it on (it made the starting sound but the power button didn't turn on or anything), but then after trying a couple times, I noticed that the black screen had a faint image of an apple on it. I had the screen too far to the front for me to see it clearly (as it's an lcd screen) and later when setting my preferences, I had noticed the brightness was just too dim which I adjusted...
So the power button never did glow when it was turned on (at least I didn't notice it after I got it booted up). My adapter's plug fits loosely in the socket on the laptop but still glows green, but all the time... Isn't it supposed to glow orange when charging??? Well I was setting up everything and did my power management settings as well, and as I have it set up to show me my battery level on the desktop, I was noticing that it was depleting (at what I would guess is a normal pace for my current settings), it started off around 83% and had gone down to 58% or so after about 1 and a half hours with highest settings basically. But my power adapter was plugged in the whole time... Shouldn't it be using my AC power and not the battery's?
So I turned it off and now it is sitting there (hopefully charging), but that little green light on the adapter where it plugs into the laptop is just that, still green...
Does all this mean that there is a problem with the power adapter and its ability to actually charge my laptop? I got this refurbished (from TigrfDirect) with a 1 year warranty (from Apple) so this should be covered, but as I just received the thing today, I really don't want to have to deal with a messed up AC Adapter...
Also, I haven't even yet checked the battery itself to see what # it is and if it is one of the ones that is part of the recall or not... I would hate to have to do that and not have a working AC Adapter, though of course if the adapter is't working, I can't charge the thing anyways, so I guess I would have to wait another few weeks with dealing with Apple and the warranty issues anyways.
I looked in the help section and the only suggestion they had for if your battery doesn't charge is to take it out and put it back in and then attach the adapter again. I guess I could do that at the same time I check on the battery's recall status, I just hate opening my computer up as soon as I get it. Also the battery cover is not totally flush with the rest of the case, one corner sticks up a bit, and I think it was a replaced item as it doesn't have the little LED lights that the computer says should be there to tell me how much the battery is charged (unless this is UNDER the cover for some reason, but the cover is bright white compared to the rest of the ibook coloring, so it seems as it was just a basic replacement cover used)...
Ok, so thanks for any input you might have. I will let people know in a couple hours if the ibook has actually charged at all during that time or not...

So I did the reset button thing and it didn't do anything at all... If I plug in the power adapter without the battery the laptop will not turn on at all, so I am guessing that it definitely is the adapter and will have to contact Apple to somehow get a new one. Oh great, tomorrow's Friday and isn't this a holiday weekend? Which means it will probably take even longer to get them to send me a replacement adapter... You think that buying a refurbished mac would mean that they would have tested out all the parts/components first before reselling it...
And so while I was at it, I checked on my battery's model # and serial # and it is one of the ones on the recall list. I think I was right that it had been replaced (now that I know that the battery is part of the back cover) which would probably explain the recall battery as this is one of the older ibooks and should have been one of the lucky ones made before the ones on the list... I did get to see the lights (only 3 though) flash solid green for about 3 seconds when replacing the battery back into the laptop.
One good thing did come out of this... As I was taking the keyboard out to find the computers serial # (I already filled out my form for the new battery), I was surprised to see an Airport card. Not that it would have surprised me too much in the first place except that it wasn't listed in the details/parts list when I bought the laptop. It was also listed that my laptop had a 10GB hard drive (while the picture on the website showed a 30GB one). The box it came in said 30GB as well, but I just dismissed that. I had went to see how much space I had left on the HD to see that it had 13.99GB and this is after any formatting, and the install of OS 10.2.8 including OS 9.2.2... So a few added bonuses to help make up for the fact that it is NOT is as good shape as I was expecting (or should be to even be sold as a refurb IMO), and the fact that the AC adapter is completely faulty.
I just hope that I can get a new AC Adapter soon, so that I can at least be able use my laptop with some kind of power until the new replacement battery shows up. This must be some kind of terrible joke. I get the laptop to be able to use it for a few hours and then have it be without ANY kind of power for posibly up to 2 months? I seem to have the worst luck with Macs, which makes it strange as I have never had any problems with all the PC's I have ever used (and I started using computers when I was 4) but I have now had an imac die (possibly the HD), an Apple studio monitor start flashing on the screen possibly due to connector problems, and now this (and all within 2 months). I am almost ready to just give up, but I have spent too much time and money on all this mac stuff (and all for my obsession with OS X) to do it just yet.
So please tell me macs aren't always this horrible, or else I will have to make up my own commercials where PCs are better because at least they turn on and boot up for more than 1 week (I think I had the imac working for about 5 days total before it would boot with errors).
Or some kind soul could also mail me a working AC Adapter that would work with my ibook (if you happen to have a spare), so I could get to do more on it other than changing it's settings... I now only have 40% battery life left. I don't think I should even turn it on again as the boot up alone would drain away too much precious juice...

Minor Problem with MagSafe Power Adapter

I got my MBP almost a year ago now (partially why I'm asking the question) and I've noticed that my power adapter doesn't always show the charge light. Sometimes it is not on at all, and sometimes it is less bright in color (both green and amber).
If I remove it and put it back it usually corrects itself.
It if fully functional; even if the light is completely out and plugged in it still shows as charging.
So, is this normal? I never remember having this sort of problem with my PB G4.

I would think the led light on my adapter cable was broken, but I discovered it works fine on a co-workers MBP. His adapter, which we know works, does NOT work (ie. the led does not come on) when attached to my computer. This indicate to me that the problem, whatever it is, can sometimes be with the computer and not the adapter.
I would be curious if others with apparently dead leds have tried their chargers on other MBPs.
Here's the long version of my story:
My 5W MagSafe completely fried after only 9 months.
The new adapter was fine for several days until this morning.
My "low battery" warning popped up, so so I plugged it in to recharge and immediately noticed the little led on the charger cord did not come on.
I found it hard to believe that I had another bad adapter, so before making the trip back to the store, I went into the studio where there are some other MBP users.
I plugged my adapter into another laptop and the led came on. It appeared to function completely normally. I tried MagSafe adapters from two other MBPs, but the led did not come on on either of them while attached to my computer.
This made me think there was some sort of problem with the connector on the computer itself. Just visually, it appears to be clean and corrosion free.
The next obvious step, it seemed, would have been to try swapping batteries with the other laptops, but mine is a 17" and everyone else here has 15"... and so we have different battery sizes.
One of the people here at the studio had a little utility called "Coconut Battery", that reports information about the battery health. When I ran it on my laptop, I got what I thought were rather surprising results.
It showed the usual things like current charge (21%), battery capacity and so on. But under "Additional Info" it said "Charger connected: Yes" and "Battery is charging: No".
I figured this narrowed it down to a problem with the battery. But as I was showing these results to my co-worker, the "Current Battery Charge" changed from 21 to 22%. Huh? We left it plugged in and it continued to show a steady climb in the charge, as if it is working normally. Except there is no led light, and the software still says it is not charging. Odd.
I then noticed that the built-in battery level indicator on the status bar was also showing the same increases. The led lights on the back of the battery are indicating an increase as well.
Just out of curiosity, I ran a second battery health analyzer program and again got these conflicting results. This one reported the same battery charge and capacity and so on as the previous one. It also recognized that the laptop was running off of AC power, that there was a battery, but it said "Not Chargeable."
So now I am going to let it continue until I have a full charge and then see if the computer will run as usual from the battery.
I don't think the store here is going to give me another adapter since this one appears to work just fine on the other computers.
Any thoughts on why the led would work on other laptops but not mine?
Why the battery health monitors report that the battery is being charged, but also that it is "not chargeable"?

Mid-2009 13" MBP says "not charging" but seems to be slowly charging with power adapter

I have a mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro with 8GB RAM. I have the odd situation of the power indicator on top right of screen showing that the power adapter is plugged in, but the percentage indicator stating that the laptop is "not charging." I have been working on the computer for several hours and the laptop has only charged to about 27 percent according to the battery health application that is runningI have. It says the battery has gone through 281 cycles and is 2.4 years old. It suggests the battery should still charge to 92 percent of its potential. The battery is warm as is the power adapter cube, so something is happening. The little light on the end of the power cord is green but only two of the little green dots light up on the left edge of the computer.
Any ideas if this is a battery, laptop, or power adapter problem? Unfortunately, I don't have a second power adapter to test that idea. Thanks for any suggestions.

Recalling another similar thread, I can recommend you thoroughly clean the male and female MagSafe connectors. The gold pins and pads must be shiny bright and totally debris free. Use a Q-Tip moistened with alcohol, disconnect the power brick beforehand. Also, make sure the rubberized area around the connector in the Mac, where the magnet lies and the steel ring around the cable connector nestles, is completely free of anything that can prevent the two from fully mating and ensuring a tight grip. Here's more info, look at the pics on #7: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713 (click on the triangles to have them drop and show the pictures)

Why does it take me so many tries before I can get the amber and/ or green light to come on, on my MagSafe power adapter?

I have been having a problem for a little while now, and I have decided to overlook it for the most part. However, it is really starting to get on my nerves. The issue I don't believe is with the MacBook Pro itself, however with the MagSafe power adapter. The adapter itself is in great condition, it is brand new, but when I attach it to the computer, the computer reads that it is there, as it shows it is charging or is charged as shown by the battery indicator in the top right of the OS X toolbar. However, the amber and/ or green light doesn't come on, right away - the first time - most of the time, on the adapter head itself. I usually have to unplug it and plug it back in multiple times before I get a light to come on. I have tried to clean the adapter itself, and the MagSafe port on the computer, but that seems to only help for a short amount of time, and it doesn't look real dirty, or like any pins are stuck on the adapter. I have also tried other outlets, but that doesn't seem to help, so I don't think I am getting dirty power.

Unfortunately, it *could* be the computer. And it could be the adapter. Aside from trying Resetting the System Management Controller there's not much you can do except taking it in for testing.

Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 running 10.8.4? Tried mini display to VGA cable

Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with a MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 laptop? Would like to use larger screen when working at home. I have a mini display port to VGA cable and have tried to hook up the old display but it seems not to work. When I try to activate the screen on the old display-- a window comes up in the MacBookPro and asks me if I want to shut down the computer. What little I have read it that the MacBookPro had Thunderbolt and the old display may not be compatible? Any assistance would be appreciated.

11.09.12 22:16:06,148 ClamXavSentry[286]: I will quarantine infected files
This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but it will likely cause other issues with your e-mail.
Here's my standard recommendation concerting the use of A-V software to deal with potentially infected messages:
Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
To fix the corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu.

New Power Adapter Doesn't fit right

The power adapter for my iBook G3 started only working when it really felt like it, so I check the discussion boards about buying a new one. I saw the link about Shentech.com, which indicated their power cord was the same as the one bought from the Apple Store, though it cost about half as much. I bought this one, but when it arrived (it was delivered VERY quickly), I was concerned because I have to force it into the computer. It charges the battery just fine, but I am concerned about ultimately doing damage to the computer. It is a model A 1036. Has anyone else had this issue? Since I didn't buy it directly from Apple, can I still ask Apple about it, as it is an Apple Product?

Hi, Katie. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Yes, I have the exact same issue with the 65-watt adapter I bought from Shentech:
http://store.shentech.com/apge24v265ws.html
I thought perhaps it was because I bought the 65-watt instead of the 45-watt that originally came with the iBook. I always keep an extra on hand, and that super-tight one has been relegated to "extra" status. I am always VERY careful any time I plug it in.
If you are very worried about it, maybe you should call Shentech and ask for a replacement. They may be refurbishing them. Even though it says "new" on their website, mine is a bit scuffed, and does not LOOK new.
A call to Apple about it may shut Shentech down if they are selling refurbished Apple products as new, but maybe that would be the right thing to do?
I'm afraid this isn't much help, but it does let you know that you're not alone.

Stop the sleep blinking light in lenovo g-470, whining sound from the power adapter , HEEEEEELP !!!

Hi, hope anyone can help me.
I own a lenovo b560 and a g470, the sleep light will blink when I go to sleeping mode, anyway the problem is not the light, the problem is the whining sound it produces the power adapter when the light start blinking, in both machines I hear that whining noise, but in the g470 is much louder, I don´t know if this is because I have a faulty adapter or something, the strange thing is that both adapters make the noise when I sleep the laptop, when I turn off or hibernate the whining sound disappear.
Also, I notice that the whining sound alternate in 2 types of sounds, one is high in pitch and the other lower, the high pitch is when the blinking light turn on when go to sleep and the lower pitch of the sound is when the light go off, and that is repeating until I resume the laptop, it´s very annoying, especially when I´m in a quiet room.
So my theory is that maybe somehow I can turn off the blinking light when the laptop goes to sleep and then maybe the whining sound will go away, but I don´t know, it´s only an a idea.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks !
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I can really understand your pain with this issue.
Kindly update the BIOS and display driver from the lenovo website then check if the issue persist.
The issue should be resolved after this.

W520, 55++, 27++, unplugged from power adapter, 0% battery. Press Power button -- power up loops.

Just faced a rather strange issue, but not really an issue, just different system behaviour than expected.
System:
W520
Batteries:
55++ connected
27++ connected
Power adapter:
Unplugged
No other accessories connected.
Scenario:
I was using the system till it power itself off due to low power (0% reached for both batteries). i.e. Ungraceful Windows shutdown. Then upon pressing the power on button, the LEDs flashes, no THINKPAD logo or BIOS message appears, system appears to then restart again, and the LEDs flash again...and loops until it was no longer able to even attempt to POST.
Expected behaviour:
Either display the message that says "Battery level is too low".
Or
Don't loop (this is the behaviour when only the 55++ battery is connected at 0%)
Why does having the 27++ would make the system go through this looping cycle?

Hello Chatbox,
I can understand your issue very well, as there is no message comes on the screen which gives you information to plug the power adapter and prevent the laptop to get shut down.
You should install Power Manager software and then customize it as per your requirement.
The software can be download from the mentioned below web link.
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/8mu417ww.exe
Hope, after this laptop will not shut down automatically due to battery backup
