The easiest way is to do that is to go to “About This Mac”, available on the Apple menu in the upper-left corner of your screen.

PS I also found several posts where people complain that the suspected fakes do not last, get boiling hot, and that there are cases where they fried the MBP. I am posting this update in the hope it helps somebody with the same dilemma. Only difference was that the serial number is like my old one printed above the pins and not like on the suspected fake one embedded in front of it (see first pic). Comparing the suspected fake with the real thing there is little one can see. So probably another indicator.Īnyway, send it back for a refund after getting one from the Apple Shop directly (believe it or not that was the cheapest compared to all the official dealers). Apple tells me there is no such possibility for the charger. The shop I bought it from suggested I put the serial number in at the Apple site. I bought mine via eBay and eBay does not seem to be interested in doing something about it. I did some more digging and this link gives a good synopses. Yes I agree, I thought this shop was a dealer.

The best way to know if you have a genuine Apple charger is by purchasing it from a known reputable vendor and authorized Apple reseller or directly from Apple.

We used them because we had no choice since we could not purchase any directly from Apple at the time (I forget the reason Apple had run out of them). While they looked identical even with the Apple logo on the brick and they even worked just fine, the barrel types were much harder to insert into the laptops to the point I thought we would break something (never occurred with a known genuine Apple charger). I know years ago (back in the PPC days) we had to purchase power adapters in bulk from a reputable third party vendor. The packaging looks like what Apple uses, but I've never seen a Japanese packaged one so I don't know. The older Apple chargers put the serial number on the charger like that, but more recent chargers put the serial number into the bottom of the opening where the AC Cord or Duckhead adapter connect. Does the weight seem the same? Most counterfeits weigh less (sometimes much less) because they skimp on internal components.Īre there any visible defects or blemishes in the brick or the cable or connector? Does the plastic of the brick look & feel the same as the original?ĭoes the printing on the adapters look the same?
