[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1775760, member: 234411"] Hello again - first, you've answered none of my previous questions - please respond: 1) Go to the first link I provided and tell us which specific laptop you own (there are over a dozen listed); 2) Can you download [I]Coconut Battery[/I] to the computer or is the machine completely DEAD regardless of its attachment to a charger; and 3) Is the Apple Store (shown in my previous post) in your city still open? Concerning whether your MacBook is 'broken', the possibilities are too numerous to make a guess - here is a simple chain of potential problems (which may be one or several): AC Power from you wall socket -> Charger (multiple levels) -> Connection to the laptop (and charging electronics) -> Battery -> Computer other than battery - there is simply no way to provide you a definite answer - I'm 5,000 miles away - go to your Apple store, if possible? Finally, Apple's chargers come w/ L-shaped & T-shaped connectors - there are 5 pins (see diagram below from Wiki) - the outer pins are ground, pins 2 & 4 carry power, and the middle pin is for information exchange - the surrounding gray portion is magnetic; the outer aspect of the connector carries no charge. Dave :) . [ATTACH=FULL]27365[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
