I had already purchased a whole new adapter for the TiBook after looking
unsuccessfully everywhere I could think of for a new replacement plug. But I
really donšt want to buy two more adapters. There must however be any number
of fried TiBook-, Lombard-, and iBook-compatible power adapters lying around
out there whose plugs are perfectly good, and if I could just locate them, I
could fix my three. (Even though I bought the new adapter for the TiBook, I
might was well fix the original adapter plug and gain a spare.)
I've also looked for G3/G4 plugs. Good Old Apple used the weirest ones they could to frustrate folks like me.
The "I-GO" universal power adapters sell "tips" to fit them. I saw one at Radios Hack. (Alas, the Hack's own line
of adapters does not have the ones we need...Grr...) I know other universal supplies also have their own "tips"...
The tips are in fact a plug AND a programming resistor [I suspect] to set the correct output voltage. Esp. with the
IGO, it will take some soldering-iron surgery to get what you want....but should work...
