Why my power adapter for 15" retina display is so hot?

Can someone explain and help that why the power adapter with extention always runs really really hot after charge for few minutes? is that normal???it's hot like you ecen cannot hold it.

Mine gets warm - never really untouchably hot. Take it back to the Apple Store and have them look at it. They may just need to exchange the adapter itself.

  • Is there a MagSafe 2 compatible portable external power source for the retina display MacBook Pro?

    I’m using a retina display MacBook Pro with the MagSafe 2 connection.   I would like to have a portable external power source to extend the use of my laptop on long field trips where I am away from power sources. Swapping batteries is not an option for this generation of MacBook Pros.  There seem to be many options for PC’s and even iPhones/iPads/iPods but the MagSafe 2 connection seems to be the issue.  I saw one link that suggested buying an Apple MagSafe 2 power adapter and performing surgery on the power cord (using components provided by the vendor) so that the adapter would run on their back up battery.  I was hoping for a more esthetically pleasing solution. Any suggestions?  Does this product exist and I just missed it? Clearly, if a MagSafe(1) compatible external battery existed I could adapt that using the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 converter.

    Sparon,
    I wouldn’t recommend using an underpowered AC adapter with your MacBook Pro. It sounds as though the best solution would be to get a different laptop bag with a sufficiently large side pocket.

  • Where do I find the power adapter for my Cinema Display?

    I have recently aquired an older style of an Apple Cinema display. It didn't come with a power adapter, just the DVI cable coming out the back. I have done some research and understand that power and usb and video signal come through this one cable, but I have also come to know there is supposed to be a converter power box type thing between the display and the monitor. I can find boxes similar to the one I believe I need on Ebay and other sites, but not the exact one. They vary in style somewhat. Wondering if someone could steer me in the direction of where to get one and help me understand more of what I need and how it all works? The model/serial number on the monitor is CY3041XSLFA, it's a 23" Cinema HD Display, made in 2002. - Thanks -

    If the display uses the Apple Display Connector (ADC)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.j pg/800px-AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter.

  • Why is my new Macbook Pro Retina Display getting so hot?

    I've had my Macbook Pro Retina Display for nearly a week and it works like a dream and I love it.
    However it does get rather hot, around the F keys it's almost too hot to touch, all I use are internet applications and occasionally Spotify and iTunes so it's not like I'm constantly running hefty software.
    I just wanted to check that this is normal as this is my first Macbook, I've been a PC user for 10 years.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Download iStat Pro and report back with the temp readings.

  • Looking for Power adapter for 23"

    I have this beautiful 23 Cinema display just looking at me wondering why I don't plug it in. Well....
    I got a great deal off Ebay but it didn't come with the white box that connects the AC / wall cord into the monitor [the seller was upfront]. My local shops says they are on back order and it will be two weeks.
    If anyone has an extra one, even if used, I will pay you for it. Thanks for reading, have a great day.

    Ask your local shop whether they can get you the power adapter for the Cinema Display 30-inch. Although slightly larger in size and power capacity (160 watt vs 90 watt) it is backward compatible and works great. If you're anxious to get up and running then that is the way to do it.

  • Where buy Power Adapter for cheapest Zire

    I have a Zire from a couple years ago, the cheapest one you can buy.  So cheap it wasn't on display where you had to get a slip and ask customer service to get the item for you from the back.  You could just get it off the shelf, it was so cheap. It think it was called Zire 1 or something.  Where can I buy a replacement power adapter for it?
    Post relates to: Zire

    Hello citrus8 and welcome to the Palm forums.
    You should check with PDAParts.com or UsedPDAParts.com.  UnityElectronics.com might also be a source if the first two don't have any spare parts.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Where can I get accessories and power adapter for Powerbook 180c

    My father just bought me second hand a Powerbook 180c. It looks to be in great condition. But it can't be checked to make sure as the battery is dead and the power adapter was not with it. I've looked on line at various stores, Office Depot, Staples, Amazon, Buy, etc only to find that they either do not carry Apple products or the accessories and power adapters would not work. Or the prices are disgustingly high. Due to illness I cannot work and my parents are on a limited budget. Does anyone know what sites carry accessories and power adapters that will work on the 180c without breaking the bank, atleast a power adapter for now, to see if the 180c even works? Any advice appreciated.

    Hi, I'm not sure that a retail store will still carry an adaptor this old unless it's a generic one.
    I just checked mine, as Jan says it is 7.5V DC at 3.0A don't get the older version which was for older PowerBooks as it was only 2.0A. The part number on my 3.0A is M5652.
    This fellow on eBay seems to have lots.

  • Where to find Power Adapter for iBook - 65W Model A1021?

    Does anyone know where I can find a new power adapter for an older iBook?
    Details:
    Apple 65W
    Portable Power Adapter
    Model No. A1021
    Cord seems to be fine, just need the brick.
    Thank you!!
    Teresa

    The '12 PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz now uses the same power adapter as your iBook G4 does. The '12 PowerBook G4s originally shipped with the 45 power adapter brick Model A1022 but they started catching fire so Apple immediately recalled them. Just tell who you talk you on Apple's Support hotline that you want the power adapter that the '12 PowerBook G4 or iBook G4 uses.
    Their Tech Support phone number is 1-800-274-2273.

  • Which power adapter for Europe

    I will be visiting Russia soon and I would need a power adapter for both my macbook pro and my iphone, any idea of what is needed? Thanks!

    "but what about my digital camera batteries? This is no use to charge my batteries... I am also confuse with the adapter/converter required, what is the difference? "
    Most digital cameras come with a universal power adapter (100-240V, 50-60Hz) and can be used anywhere. To be sure, check the power adapter that came with your camera. The AV power input will be marked on the adapter. Depending upon where you purchased the camera, the AC prong configuration will change. If it was purchased in the US, you can use the same AC prong adapter that works with the MBP and iPhone.
    If you have a charger specifically for your camera batteries, it probably does not have a universal power adapter - you can check the markings to be sure. Accordingly, the easiest thing to do is to bring a supply of batteries with you. If you live in the US, "good" batteries are cheaper there than anywhere else. If you wait until you get to Russia, you'll find that good batteries are very expensive, and the cheap batteries are very bad.
