recently I repaired my magsafe adapter because the wire to the end of the power adapter got broken. I repaired it by opening the case and rewired it. My the wiring was it bit loosely and the connection was broken again. Now I wanted to rewire it but, I don't remember which wires belong together.

Here you can see a photo of the adapter. Which of these (the left or the right) belongs to the inner and outer wire of the cable?

Thanks!

Connected it like you said and checked it with a voltmeter. All works fine :)

I've a problem with my 24" LED cinema display. The display is constantly switching on and off. I've used the Apple Technician Guide to check out whats wrong. I was going step by step trough it. What i found out is:

The volltage between TP11 and GND is not stable. It moves constantly between 22.7 - 23.2 VDC.

Also the connector cable voltage (Pin 1 and GND) from the power supplay is moving constantly between 14.3 - 14.8 VDC.

All other voltages are stable and in the needed range. It looks like the power supply is somehow not working correct.

On the power supply unit its is no damaged part or short visible.

So before ordering a new power supply for 250$ from US to Switzerland my questions:

- Can somenone confirm that most likely the power supply has to be replaced?

- Is it possible to check and maybe repair the power supply itself?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

I replaced the batteries several times and tried cleaning the contacts for the batteries inside the device. Nothing has worked. Apple support recommended I take the item in to an Apple store so they can "look at it", but before they try to sell me a new one, I'm wondering if anyone has had success in reviving these devices after they die.

Thanks

Is there any one who successfully done it?

Thanks in advance,

The powerboard the display was plugged into is also dead - no response on any outlet. All other devices plugged into the powerboard are OK.

What do you think the chances are that the display circuitry survived? Is it worth spending the money on a new power supply to test if it works?

Or, at least spending the money on the suction caps to tear the display down and visually inspect? Could you even tell from a visual inspection if the silicon got fried?

Thanks for your advice in advance.

Can I replace Magic Trackpad 2's battery by iPhone 5's battery for temporary?

And to make things worse, the same has happened with my wireless keyboard and the battery that's in deepest is stuck and I haven't found any kind of tool that can pull it out.

Any suggestions, or do I have to spring for new devices?

It abruptly cut off everything I was doing, and there is no LED on the front while plugged in. However, while plugged in, I can hear and feel the hard drive still spinning. The TC is somewhat warm to the touch (seems to be the usual temp), but it's not scorching hot.

If I give it 5-15 minutes of leaving it unplugged and then plug it back in, it mysteriously starts working again, LEDs and all. When it turns off again, nobody knows, but it sure will be at the most inconvenient time.

My TC is sitting in a TV entertainment center, on the first shelf below the TV but there is plenty of empty ventilating room around it.

So what's going on here? Am I going to need to replace the power supply? Or is it just overheating from too much activity and it wants to cool down for a bit? I don't know what to make of these symptoms...

• 4th generation Time Capsule (2TB)
• Hard drive is not dead
• Plugged into power surge protector (or power strip...?)
• Using original power cable.
• Bought used on eBay a few months ago, likely been in service for more than 12 months

EDIT: I contacted Apple and they have confirmed that the keyboard was depreciated in Monterey. Don’t know why but it is Apple and they are good at breaking stuff for seemingly no reason. A workaround is to install Big Sur (or earlier) on a separate volume or hard drive (or flash drive) and pair the keyboard and restart. Hopefully it will stay paired but once every few weeks it may not want to re-pair needing you to reboot into Big Sur. If your hardware shipped with Monterey or newer then as far as I know you are out of luck. Truthfully, it probably is time to start looking for another keyboard.

I have a new Macbook but also a 2012 Thunderbolt display. The Macbook only has a USB-C port and I was wondering if anyone has come across people replacing the Thunderbolt display's Mini Display cable with a USB-C one.

Is this even possible?

Any Mini Display-to-USB-C adaptors were very quickly (and suspiciously...) discontinued shortly after they were released in 2015.

Any advice or info would be much appreciated.
