i thought Apple was doing all PB work themselves. is that not true?

My problems with my pb happened right before the policy was implemented. I remember that ibooks and pismos, for sure, now have to be mailed to apple. I don't know about earlier m…

There's a fairly common problem apparently with those "UFO" styled power adapters. If you've wraped and un wrapped yours a few times check near the base where the wire goes into th…

My power adapter hums too, but according to tooki, that's normal. It hums the same way an Electrical Plant hums when you drive by it. or something like that. Anyway, the humming …

Mine never used to hum, though, and it's not consistant... it'll hum for a second, stop, hum again for a second, stop, hum for a minute, etc...

It is VERY easy to tell who made your adapter: it says so right on the device! Right below the electrical specifications. Some are made by Delta Electronics (Apple's power supply m…

aha! yes, i checked my UFO and it is a Delta... maybe the Samsung ones are the only ones that are having all the various difficulties because my Delta unit works just fine after mu…

(Totally useless bit of semantics): I just realized we're calling the AC adapter the UFO. But it's the Airport Base Station that's the UFO. The AC adapter is the yo-yo. tooki

My problem is different... I have hard times pluging my adapter to my Pismo, it's really damn hard... I'm always scared of breaking something. As well, you can easily step on it by…

Hey! I have that same problem.. Well, I guess it's not too bad a problem but it just worries me when I have to plug in the cord in the back of the pismo and it takes quite a push …

Actually it turns out my faulty adapter is a Delta one... curious.

Hmmmm.... I have one of each with no discernible issues yet. I will keep you posted. ------------------ Rocke "Why yes, I have brought our network down." Woelk Only the educated…

I love the new UFO style power adapter and especially the plug that goes into my Pismo. It's so much better than the old plug on my WallStreet (with that stupid fuse bulge). Ever …

I don't use my yo-yo adapter it has way too many problems, it sucks, I have the hummming problem, the cord problem, AND mine shoots sparks, as cool as it looks it's just not worth …

Hey MikeD, I solved my problem. I took a screw driver and made the plug a little wider. It's a little better now. But hey, don't do the same mistake as I did, unplug the whole thi…

The humming sound coming from the yoyo seems to vary with the amount of power passing through it (in my case, at any rate). When I recharge batteries and use the Web at the same t…

So far, my observation has been thus: -Delta Electronics, made in Taiwan: white painted Apple logo -Samsung, made in Korea: embossed silver Apple logo tooki

No Tooki, my Delta electronics power supply has an embossed Apple logo. Anyway, no huming for me!

I have a Samsung "yo-yo", and my power adapter exhibits a slight buzzing noise when recharging my battery - I can't notice it until I put my face right up to it. It doesn't bother …

My samsung yoyo works great, no hum, no stripped cord, no sparks(!), but it gets uncomfortably hot to the touch. Is that normal? ------------------ Art for web's sake

it apparently causes no issues, right? then normal it is...

Well, it seems pretty fair to say that Samsung and Delta electronics have been PROTOTYPING a lot with these units and that the results are very random. About the heat issue, I fin…
