I can't figure this one out. Let me try to lay it out clearly...
I have a MB Pro, my wife has a MacBook. We each, of course, have a MagSafe adapter.
With the older of the two MagSafe adapters, we can charge each notebook fine. No problem. But with the newer one, we can charge either notebook once, then when the battery runs down and we need to recharge, we have to power down the notebook, remove the battery, put it back in and then plug the adapter back in to charge the computer. Simply plugging it in does nothing.
Here's what's utterly confounding about this:
- This only happens with one Magsafe, not both.
- I've replaced both batteries to no avail.
- I've replaced the offending MagSafe adapter to no avail.
- I've tried different outlets, no dice.
- I've plugged in at different locations, same issue.
I'm totally stumped. Why should this happen with one adapter but not the other? The only thing I can remotely think of is that the newest line of MagSafe adapters has some incompatibility with the OS 10.6 power management software and that both notebooks need to have it updated.
HELP! I'm tearing my hair out over this.
