G3 AC adapter replacements
I have a G3 iBook and have gone through two power adapters and about to go through another. The problem is always at the base of the plug. Where is connects to the iBook itself. Has anyone else experienced this? If so did you replace it with a third party adapter and which one?

Some people add gaffer tape to strengthen then around that area. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G3 AC adapter replacements
Anyone who still has the small black rectangular power adapter that came with the Wall Street and early Pizmo PowerBooks should go to this web site and get a new one. They may discontinue the program any time now that they are technically not supporting the Wall St. http://depot.info.apple.com/ Victor Hello all. I just returned two of them under this recall. It took about 10 days to receive them. As it was in conjunction with a CPSC agreement, I don't think their will be any problem getting a new adaptor any time soon. The recall covered the Model Number: M4402 adaptor, made by two different vendors. According to this page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=16168 The adaptor was also sold as a compatable replacement for the PowerBook 1400, 3200 and G3. It is also used by the VST Chargers for these models of computers. I don't remember the service part number, but it comes in a padded mail envelope with a new power cord. The adaptor does say Model Number M7332, on it. (If any one can find a article that crossreferences the M7332 with the service number , I would appreciate it.) The only problem I see is if you have more than two adaptors. The site says they will replace any extra that you have purchased, and any that came with a VST charger. But the site only lets you key in two serial numbers and requires a serial number off a G3 Powerbook. If you have the M4402 adaptor, by all means replace it under this recall. While the replacement is not as small as the origional, its much safer. Ken Vann == Old Macs have new uses with WiFi.

In one case, they sent me one with the G4 plug on the end, even though the part # was the G3 model! Then then sent me another one with the correct plug. I do wish I could find a source for the G3 and G4 plugs... -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
