In other words, while the 60W adapter will generally allow you to operate the MacBook Pro without draining the battery, it may not also increase the available the charge. However, the lower-power unit may not deliver enough power to MacBook Pros to offer simultaneous charging and operation.
The 60W adapter can also be used to some extent with both the MacBook Pro and MacBook. It will provide ample power to both the MacBook Pro and MacBook, and will not damage the latter despite a higher-than-necessary wattage. The 85W adapter can be used inconsequentially with both models. So are the two adapters interchangeable? Yes, with a caveat. Both adapters use the same MagSafe connection point that will fit either model. A product specialist at Apple commented that although the packaging indicates use for the MacBook, the power supply would charge a MacBook slower and didn't recommend extended use."īy default, the MacBook Pro uses an 85W power adapter, while the MacBook uses a 60W power adapter. Their information didn't specify whether it was OK to use it or not OK to use it. I called Apple for a more definitive answer, but was unable to get one. The Apple store employee thought it was a bad idea to use the 85W with the MacBook, as the MacBook comes with a 60w adapter, even though Apple's packaging for the adapter indicated it was also for use with a MacBook. (I have a MacBook Pro and thought it would be good to have an adapter that we could both use). The packaging indicates that it is for use only with a MacBook Pro or MacBook. "I bought an extra 85W MagSafe Power adapter for my wife's MacBook. de Sequera recently inquired about the interchangability of MacBook and MacBook Pro power adapters. Once you know whats wrong, the rest is easy.MacFixIt reader J.E. I will do some research and get back to you, I am done w/ classes in the next couple weeks, I am completely down to help you diagnose exactly what has failed. What gpu are you running? As a long shot the graphics card may have failed. This was a very expensive machine when it was new.
#MAC PRO POWER SUPPLY MAC#
This 06 Mac Pro has alot of life left in it, and it can be fixed. I'll look around this evening and see what I can figure out. My friend had one that need a board, and we opted to sell it over, beginning that process. Tearing out the logic board will be a long grueling process.
Personally, I don't really think the logic board would have failed for no reason. I had one of these up until this year (The 2.66ghz) and they can be extremely finicky, I believe you could use almost any logic board, thats made for this specific body style of mac pro(Before 2008 revision), but make sure your Xeon's will fit the board you get. If anyone can help me id be grateful, i will be attempting this myself as i can not afford anything else, eg apple repair store ect I will try to give enough details for you about my machine,
#MAC PRO POWER SUPPLY HOW TO#
So i am not sure if it is the powersupply or logic board, but if its the power supply I plan on buying a replacement, do i need a specific one for my model? And i dont know how to replace the power supply, so any advice or videos would be great.Īnd if its the logic board.
#MAC PRO POWER SUPPLY FULL#
This was left idle for over a year but the last 6 weeks i have been using it solid most days, and i did notice it was a bit nosier than usual, kind of a humming noise but i did not think much of it? Its full of dust inside it, anyway this machine did turn off and on by itself for no reason a number of times since i started using it again, and sometimes did not turn back on by itself. This time the mac is dead, at first there was no noise, no lights nothing, (it turned off while i was running final cut pro 7) Now after i disconnected all cables everything, reconnected everything and pressed power button for 5 seconds i looked back at machine and noticed led on monitor is on, and i can hear some very low noise at the back of the tower, where the power cable connected Its about 6 years old, i got a second hdd installed before, worked fine but then the mac would not start up (flashing question mark) seems to be a common enough issue but that was resolved, the hdd was not installed correctly. My Mac Pro just switched off, and its not coming back on, its dead! After googling it people say it could be the logic board, but most likely the power unit
