Fixing Apple Macs
Yoshi:
Well at this point we think its the connector, its not a mac one as my mac one died (like these ones do cos they are a poor design), so got a new one arriving tomorrow which will check.
The battery indicator light has only got 1 flashing green light which indicates not alot of power!
I put a multimeter on the connector when plugged in, put the black on the on the outer ring thing and the red on the jack in the middle.
KevinStorr:
Cross fingers. The only power adapters we haven't had problems with both PC and Mac where the older big bricks.
So I think it is just the price of getting a small package.
Good luck.
Cheers Kevin
Yoshi:
Well the new adapter arrived today, and hurrah! i have me laptop back again!
Never again will i hurl abuse at it!
I found the problem, the outer ring on it split apart which was why it wouldnt work, so therefore now am sending it back and then the company are sending me out a replacement, so i shall have 2!!! lol
KevinStorr:
Great news
The power adapters on the new Macbooks are cool use magnetism so no plug. If the cable gets a tug it just comes away no damage.
I am just lusting after a the new Macbook Pro. I really must get a computer for home.
Yoshi:
I am thinking of going completely mac here, there is a chance i could get me hands on a g5 :D
