Crappy power supply technology... Guard cable break

Power cord keeps breaking. Apple has known about it for many years, as evidenced by complaints and all positions in Google. I'm on my 3rd. Apple assumes no responsibility and says it's my fault. It is a MacBook Pro, and must be moved on a regular basis. My power supply Dell has never beaten and I've had this laptop for 6 years. I'm very careful with my equipment and tools as my livelihood depends on their being in good working condition.

Unfortunately, I had side with Apple on this one. None of my 7 portable Mac, ranging from 1993 to the present, have already had cable problems, and while they were in their working lives, it is a daily routine. Still a little consideration while winding upward and storage at the end of each use apparently paid off. Was there a brick power fails and requires a replacement of this gap, but it's the transformer who claimed: its brick wall extension is still ongoing end user could recycle brick-to-Mac with tip MagSafe cable, if I needed.

He was (or is) a reminder of charger, but which was for some models of EU and was due to the failure of an active component to conform to the standards, not the cables.

  • Need remote, power supply, A / V cable and IR transmitter

    Hello, I just bought a V-Mate from Amazon, but it came only with the USB cable and the unit itself. The seller claims she only used as a card reader and never received all the 'other' things. Well, what makes it pretty useless unless I can find a source of power, remote control, infrared transmitter and 2 A / cables V. Anyone know where I can find these?

    I have a Philips TS1000 programmable Pronto remote if someone has the RTC file that they could share with me. I can also "Butcher" upward a PSU, and I have an infrared transmitter from an old VCR JVC if someone can tell me if it will work. I also have a mini connector 4-pin to the A / V cables to an old video camera, but I need to know what is the pinout, which uses the V-Mate.

    I know that this sounds like a lot of work, but I was really excited to try this thing, and then it came with all the missing pieces!

    Thanks for any help.

    You'd probably better go back and buy one of a 'real' dealer, maybe a brick & mortar store. This way you get a warranty and you have the support of a place to return to for warranty issues or go for any missing piece.

  • Installed a new power supply, run only windows XP.

    So I recently replaced my power supply, and all respect that seems to be going very well that the computer has no problem running. However, every time I start the computer, it start in Windows XP and immediately requires me a check on windows XP. A screen will appear asking if I would like to activate via phone or internet tool. If I use the online detection tool, he suggests, he says that I can not connect to the internet and sends me in return. If I call the number, I can possibly a recording of the voice asking me the code 40 numbers on my screen. Whenever I enter this code by phone, he says he does not recognize that code and I'm at square one. So basically, how can I get my computer to start as it has always, in Windows 7 and with all my usual data?

    Also, I tried to start in safe mode with command prompt. When I get to the menu Startup and recovery in system properties, it appears the only operating system default is "Windows XP Media Center Edition. I have several hard drives my best guess is that it maintains launch than bad. Any help find how launch of correct would be greatly appreciated.

    TLDR; New power supply, computer guard run windows xp and by asking for activation, when I was previously with windows 7 for more than a year.

    Good guess:

    When you have reconnected all cables in your PC after installing the new power supply, you connected the SATA (data) cable that should go to your primary (generally marked 0) SATA port for a hard drive that has Windows XP on it.

    Check your cables.

  • After say - and reconnecting battery CMOS, power supply T400s has stopped working

    Hi all

    A few days ago, I had to say and then plug back the CMOS battery. After putting my T400s back together, the power supply in power did not work more (the computer is plugged in and power cable works fine with other computers, but it will not provide power to the T400s). Cannot charge the battery either!

    A I unplug/break something in my quest for reset CMOS? There are simple things that I could try to get it working again?

    Thank you very much

    K

    It doesn't have to be plugged into the power problem, but a discharge of static electricity isolated were able, then you could also try to reset the bios of the laptop again by removing the cmos battery.

    Most likely, you've killed one of the power circuit element when you tried to remove the cmos battery without first statically discharging yourself.

  • M9340F power supply replacement

    I replaced the power supply on my M9340F. I have the replacement, he is doing very well. However, I have 2 questions:

    1. I have to remove the DVD drive in order to to fix the power supply to the memory card reader device. However, I can't get the DVD player in the Bay! I undid the clasp on the side, but only allows me to drag on about 1 inch. There's something else blocking its removal, and I don't see what it is. I only removed one side (if you look at the front pc system unit, the right side is removed). I attempted to try and remove the front plate before, but I was afraid I would break something, so I stopped.

    2. at some point, the HP media drive USB connector became one. I see several USB connections on the motherboard (01 USB, USB 02, etc.), and the connector appears to each of them. One that I re - attach to does it matter?

    Thank you.

    Hello bassman592, to remove the DVD drive, you will need to remove the front panel. It is very easy to do, but should be done with care. The bezel has three clips for fixing plastic on the side of the case open. Just lift those stars very lightly just enough to unlock them and then rotate the bezel to the left, as if it were a hinge to the other side. The other side has 3 plastic clips attached to the bezel. Once the bezel has reached the other side, the front will detach. To remove the DVD disc, you need to unlock the mount and the DVD player will slide enough before you unplug the sata data cable and the power cable.  Then, the DVD player will come offered free of the case. You should be able to access the reader at this point. Reassemble in reverse.

  • 29W power supply will work for iPad 9.7 Pro

    My iPad Pro 9.7 inches provided with a power of 10 watts. It takes about six hours is responsible for the depletion of the layer to be 100% responsible. I would like to be able to do it faster. I noticed that the iPad Pro with a larger screen has a 29 Watt power supply available in the Apple Store. I bought this with the cable Apple to convert USB type C USB 2, which I am connected to my Flash a USB cable.  When I try on my Pro 9.7 inch iPad it charges no faster than six hours. Anyone who has tried using a larger power and they have managed to improve the loading time?

    The smaller iPad Pro does not have lightning speed USB - C compliant connector which has the bigger iPad Pro, so the special USB - C cable and 29W power supply wiil lightning does not work with the smaller iPad Pro to load more quickly.

    Return these back to Apple for a full refund.

  • Power supply selection guide

    This MOD can make a post-IT.

    Here is a general guide on how to select a power supply for your HP desktop computer.  The majority of the standard ATX power supply (PSU) must fit in an envelope of HP.  The exception would be a slim casing or the esoteric Merle.

    Looking for a certification 80 + on the PSU to save electricity.  A PC is normally idle or operate at low load 75% of the time.  Therefore, to find a power supply which is more effective in the range 50 - 90W.  A power supply 80 + 350W reaches the level of efficiency of 80% at the exit of 70W (20% of rated output).  The output must be greater than 140W to achieve the same level of efficiency of a PSU of 700W 80 + equivalent.  So choose a power supply that is rated at 25% more than the maximum load of the ACTUAL spending of the rig you will save more of $ on electricity.

    A modern PSU is designed to achieve maximum efficiency between 20 and 80% of the nominal power.  Running a power supply above 80% charge level will result in excessive heat, noise and premature failure.

    A platform Nvidia GeForce GTX 280 (1024 MB of RAM) will rely on 350W max to the wall.  Taking into account the effectiveness of a block of power SUPPLY 80 +, the actual load on the power supply is only 280W (350 x 0.80).  To calculate the required power supply, multiply the actual load by 1.25 (25% margin).  In this case we only need a PSU 350W (280 x 1.25) to run this GPU.

    Let's apply what we know of a rigging of Radeon HD 4870 (512 MB RAM).  290W max to the wall.  Actual load is 290W x 0.80 or 230W.  Now, apply the 25% margin rule and we come to a requirement of 290W PSU (230W x 1.25).  Even if we apply a safety margin of 50%, the power required is always under 350W (230W x 1.50).

    There are no overspec need the power supply by 50%, unless you run your PC up 24/7.  Don't forget that there is a huge variation in the quality of the PSU and side.  Maybe a good 500W PSU is not able to provide as much energy as a quality 350W.  Antec Earthwatts/NeoPower/TruePower and Corsair Seasonic are widely available at several American retailers of quality units.

    High-end power supplies number will need additional power supply PSU in the form of one or two 6/8 pin plug GPU.  You can buy an adapter to convert a molex 4pin to plug 6-pin power of GPUS.

    http://www.TomsHardware.com/reviews/GeForce-Radeon-power, 2122 - 3.html

    Hi Nautsj,

    You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet. Here is a list of the things to consider:

    1. technical characteristics
    2. the total power - important
    3. amperage 12 + v - important
    4 modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
    5. guarantee
    6 i7 and SLI ready
    7. energy efficiency
    8 cost
    9. size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
    10. a single + 12 volt rail is a better choice.

    www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies. Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

    The typical EVGA GTX 570 in 9 "long.  The adjacent slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.  Open your PC and do some measures so that you know for sure if the card fits.  According to me, it will fit.

    For what is a PSU, Corsair CX600has very little growth, but the Corsair HX650gives you plenty of space to grow.

    I use the HX650 in two PC.  It is a modular model in order to have better options with the selection of cable.

    "How-to" HP articles should be useful.

    TIP: When installing the power supply, unlock the scanner and slide it forward to facilitate the removal and installation of the new power supply.

  • POWER supply upgrade

    I'm buy a GTX 660 Performance Edition and replace my GTS 250, so I need to buy a new power supply or I do?

    I used a simulator of power on Newegg http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html

    and I'm 11 Watts is more than OK? I strongly believe not, but I would like a second opinion and explanation of the consequences.

    Also I just found out that my current settup is 24Watts on yet I'm running OK I guess. PSU reached the high celsius of 60 s at full load.

    I was looking around power supplies, but the few I found in my price range do not have the same dimension that my current has.

    The main thing I need to know is where can I buy compatible power supply for my HP Pavilion Elite m9277.uk, a desktop PC?

    I would really appreciate an exact PSU for 500-600 w to €60 or less.

    My specs:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01469326

    I changed the 9800GT for GTS 250 1 GB GPU and I am upgrading again for a GTX 660.

    I have also excluded the tunner TV my PCI slot and no longer using HP removable HARD disc if Bay that makes a difference.

    Thanks for reading my long comment, I think I've met as a beginner, but bare with me, I'm not.

    It's like buying a car.  You pay the best features you get. Those you have posted is OK, a little low. The wattage is actually a trick few because a grade A 500w will in fact on most power cleanser in conditions normal operation than a budget model. Bonds, for example, put the better energy at higher temperatures. Any food you get these days will have the connectors you need. And in any case you can use a standard molex plug for power to the video card video cards usually have an adapter in the box. I personally like modular PSUs because that basically custom, you can do the installation and power cables that you actually need. None of the above are modular.  Modular costs a little more. The connector you want to be sure to have is the power of 6-pin pci-e. They have all taken P4 auxiliary these days. The first that you shown above has a list of connectors and I can confirm that it has everything that you will need.

    And the industry standard power supplies... ATX is a power of a specific size, and they should be inter changeable. Just to be sure, however, to measure the old and compare to the new dimensions. I've updated the power supply in this unit, and he was able to use the industry standard ATX power supply.

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Portege 7020CT (I know its old)
    I would buy a Toshiba PA3007E-1DST on eBay!
    In the description of sellers on eBay, it is written that a power supply is not included!
    So he lies to be included power supply? Or am I ment to use my laptop Portege of power?

    All responses are greatly appreciated!

    Thank you
    Nick

    Eh, it's really amazing that someone still use this old machine Portege. I hope it works perfectly.
    If I m remembering well at the back of this port replicator is the DC power connector, so you should be able to use the AC for your Portege power cable and connect it to the port replicator.

    The connector must be the same.

  • HP Compaq 8000 Elite power supply upgarde

    I have a HP Compaq 8000 Elite 2010 and you must update the power to launch my new Radeon HD 6850 graphics card. After much research I found that this particular computer motherboard does not have a normal diet of 20 or 24 pins but use instead of 2 separate connections from 4 pins for power supply PWR and PWRCPU and a third cable that seems to me to be an ancient and obsolete 6-pin auxiliary power (http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#aux) for the PWRCMD supply Cable. I also found that all power is carried out through the motherboard for each piece of hardware in the computer and therefor, most likely has a limit for the maximum possible power supply. Y at - it sort of a power supply that will fit both into the slot in the power supply (which is not the standard size of power supply, but rather measures approximately 6 "x 5.75" x 3.75") and will also be able to connect to and sufficient power to the motherboard? Or am I stuck with an ugly 320W? Help, please!

  • cannot fine internal power supply form new sound card

    Just installed the asus xonar dx card in my slimline s5670t office. The problem I have is that I can't find the power supply 4 pin I need on the mobo. Can someone help me?

    Here are thespecifications of the motherboardof your PC.

    You probably need to look for a connector 4-pin molex or floppy disk which cuts off the power supply.  If your don't see a spare connector, then you will need an adapter for the splitting of a molex connector or even disable a sata power connector.  Look carefully at the power cable goes on the hard drive.  That's where you could try a power cable Y splitter.  www.Newegg.com has probably want you need.

    Maybe thisadapterwould work.  I can't tell if the connector is good to type the disk sata for power or if the cable lengths are long enough.

    My theory is that there may be some problem with button / stop himself (white metal under the button), or perhaps with several Planar cable wire.

    Also, for me it is definitely hardware problem. If you want, you can contact the partner of service allowed in your country and see what they have to say about it.
