Hi,
When I plug in the power pack the light on the end plug flashes between green and orange and sometimes the orange light flashes from normal orange to a really bright orange. Is this just a loose connection? has anydoby had this happen before? The rechargable battery will still charge up but you need to sort of twist the end plug until the normal orange recharge light appears and not the green or really bright orange light. When the end plug is showing a 'really' bright orange light the end plug seems to get quite warm. Anyone have any feedback on this?
Regards
Melmac

Sounds like a bad plug or port to me...can you try a differnet power supply and see if it still happens? Per haps going into a local Apple Store and asking them to try out a power supply from a display model maybe...

yeah, i had the same problems. if i twisted it right, it would charge. but then, it just started to do the "really bright orange", and wasn't charging at all. i found a DC-in board on ebay for about $20, and followed instructions on pbfixit.com to install it. took some time to disassemble, but if you're comfortable with doing it, it's not that bad. just keep track of screws and follow the directions.
