    Magsafe died--seeking hack advice

    Hello. First post here. Read often, never asked. I have a 2009 17" MBP. Still works great, but I am on my 5th Magsafe L adaptor (after the demise of my 3rd T adaptor). At some point it would be cheaper to buy a new laptop than to keep replacing these pesky magsafe cables. So I had a stupid...

    Battery is not charging, what gives???

    I'm almost sure it's the magsafe, but I don't want to spend money on something that won't even work. I just bought a new battery (from a trusted apple compatible store they recommended me to). At first, it only wasn't charging. I don't know what i did to fiddle around with it, but it charged...

    Hello everyone, Recently my MagSafe 2 charger has stopped working. As the cable isn't frayed and nothing else seems to be damaged, I was wondering if it could be linked to this white piece missing (see picture attached). My charger stopped working a couple days after that white piece fell off...

    USB C to Magsafe (1 or 2)

    Hi, I have the MacBook Pro Retina 15" with magsafe 2 from years ago when they first came out. It's close to dying on me. My magsafe 2 broke on me years ago (well the cable tore near the magsafe port) and I "fixed" it with electrical tape. It helped and let me charge my laptop until now... The...

    Seeking resistor value on MagSafe board

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me the resistor value (at least I believe it's a resistor) on a 2009 850-2565-A magsafe board. My father had his laptop serviced recently for a screen replacement. Unfortunately, during the repair it seems evident a surface mount resistor was...

    MBP 15" late 2016 break-safe charging cable

    Hey guys, I've got an update from Griffin that their break-safe cable will work but will provide only 60W instead of 87W provided by the regular MBP 15" charger. Are there any similar break-safe cables ready to provide full 87W?

    MBP for a week

    I just 'borrowed' (okay so my cousin was out of town when his MBP came, and I brow-beat him into letting me use it until he came back). This thing is sexy thin and the prettiest girl at the ball. But, she's not gonna be the one you leave with. They nailed the aesthetics for sure. But, the...

    Griffin BreakSafe for 15" Macbook Pro?

    Hey everyone, I have been eyeing the Griffin BreakSafe Magnetic USB-C Power Cable as I am disappointed with the removal of MagSafe. I am wondering if the current BreakSafe rated for 60W will work with the 15" Macbook Pro? I understand that the 15" is rated for 87W and not 60W like the...

    Cheapest place to buy a safe Magsafe 1 Power adapter

    So, I'm super uncomfortable buying third party power adapters (fire hazard and such) but I don't want to spend $80 on a new charger for my $300 computer. Any ideas on a safe third party alternative - or a "known good" seller on Amazon or Ebay? Thanks!
