The MagSafe connector uses magnets to attach to your computer and can detach when you trip over the cord in the middle of the night. With the announcement of the MacBook Pro in 2006, Apple introduced the MagSafe connector. An AC adapter takes the alternating current from a wall socket and converts it to direct current which can charge a battery.

PSS - I have recently replaced the PRAM battery.Every portable Apple device-from the massive Macintosh Portable to the tiny iPod Shuffle-uses a battery which needs to be charged using an adapter. Check all power supply cable connections to ensure they are properly seated.

If diagnostic LED 5 and LED 6 are both solidly illuminated at power up, improperly seated power supply cables could be one cause of this behavior. LED 8 should be green when the DIAG_ LED button is pressed, indicating that the main power is OK and within regulation. Plug in AC power cord, and press the power-on button on the front panel. LED 2 should be yellow when the DIAG_ LED button is pressed, indicating that trickle voltage is present.Дiagnostic LED 8 indicates that the main power is OK and within regulation. If the computer still doesnвЂ™t power on, follow the procedure outlined below to determine whether the issue is related to the power supply.Дiagnostic LED 2 indicates the presence of trickle power required by the logic board to begin the startup process. If the system fails to power on, first reset the SMC as described in this chapter. To power on, the computerвЂ™s logic board requires вЂњtrickleвЂќ power.

PS - I've not done the following procedure yet, and because it is from the 2008 Mac Pro service manual it may not apply to the 2006 exactly as written. My experience is that the longer time disconnected is related to success, but I do not understand why. The famous and helpful 'Hatter' once suggested to another troubled Mac Pro owner to 'leave the computer disconnected from power overnight'.

So any advice on how to improve our assessment of the true source of this problem would be much appreciated. To obtain a replacement supply here in Hobart is going to be difficult and expensive. The tech went off to consult for 10 minutes or so, then came back and said 'we think your power supply is probably stuffed'. I called Apple support, authorized a case. Shutdown, reinsert top rise, restart success. Yesterday I pulled the top memory riser, left MP off for 30 minutes then when I reconnected power I could startup successfully. Pressing down the SMC RST button stops this loop, but still cannot startup.

When I reconnected power the MP began a familiar 17 second cycle, both sets of Memory Riser Card Diagnostic LEDs illuminate for about 3 seconds, fans start, shutdown (repeat). None of the usual voodoo worked, so I left the Mac Pro for about 6 hours with power and all cables disconnected. Sometimes just pulling the power cord for a few minutes works. The straight forward 'press the SMC Reset button' never works. I go through the SMC reset procedure as per Article: HT1806. Typically in the morning I see the Mac Pro has shut down and will not startup. I ask because we have experienced several times over the past couple of years the following issue. Re: Mac Pro 2006, how do I assess whether the power supply is failing?
