Magsafe 60w Power Adaptor not charging

[sean83]

Just received my new Magsafe 60w Power Adaptor from the apple store today, however although it is powering my MacBook, it is not charging it.

I bought my MacBook in early 2008 and it is version 10.5.8, so I looked for solutions and followed this guide on the apple support site http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3499.

I dowloaded the update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1312 accordingly but when I try to install it, it says " Alert: This computer does not need this update"

So I am pretty much lost with what to do, has anyone else had this problem and managed to resolve it?


Thanks Anyone

Odd... your macbook should be supported in this update...

Yeh, I've removed the battery, held the power button down for 5 secs, I've checked that my Mac intel dual core is using the GUID disk partition, which it is.

I don't get why it won't install.

If there's an Apple store close by, take your MacBook and adapter to the Genius Bar and see if they can help.
