I passed the Wallstreet PowerBook G3 series 233 (bottom of that line model) along to a co-worker when I was given a new iBook. She had been doing fine with it, but called today and reports it gave her a message yesterday about battery being low...then shut down. Today it would not start...even plugged in. Someone where she was apparently put a meter on the power supply output and could not read any current. So...the power supply may be dead. (This is one of the replacement 'flying saucer' types that Apple sent out two years ago to replace the small rectangular one.)
We don't have any of those power supplies around. I do have a one or two Apple model M3037 45 watt power supplies here that have a different plug on the end from some other model powerbook (2400? 5300?). Any chance I could splice the end from the G3 power supply to the cord on this other one and get it to work? How to tell which wire is plus and which minus on the dead G3 unit? Or does anyone have the correct one (I don't know a model # off hand) cheap? Thanks in advance. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
