The problem is with the the cables from the past couple of years, that's probably why your stuff works and his more recent gear does not.

I bought my MBP in 2008, I'm on my third Magsafe cable now. The last 2 caught fire. Seems I need a new cable every year.

I use a 2008 MBP's brick to run my 2010 MBP much of the time. Haven't had any problems with it. Nor have I had any trouble with the 2010 brick.
