The little green light on the A330 plug turns on for about a second and then turns back off. I think that the transformer just draws too much power.
Anyone else have experience with a Mac on board?
I recently used my Mac Powerbook on the A330. The battery was fully charged before I started, but I was able to plug it in and continue to use it without draining the battery (or having to remove it). I think there may be an issue about how many people are using the power at once which may impact your ability to power your laptop. (The flight I was on wasn't particularly full, nor were many people using laptops.)
