[QUOTE="pilgrim22, post: 103966"] I am having the exact same problem - my PB is no longer charging when connected to mains power. This has happened a couple of times before, but those times it came back online and start charging after being left plugged in for a couple of days without use. This time it has been several days, and no dice. It was down to about 40% charge when I last shut it down. My PB is a 12" Al book, 867MHz, one of the early versions. Don't know if it's still under warranty, as it was purchased almost 2 years ago by my father-in-law, and i can't remember if he bought the apple care deal. The PBFixIt Guide looks useful, but scary. Tecknix - have you had any success fixing yours? I really don't want to break mine open, and I was hoping that the problem was with the adapter itself (a steep $79 to replace), but this does not seem to be the case from this posting. I don't have access to another PB to verify if it's the adapter or not. Cheers, p22 [/QUOTE]
