Whatever you do don't buy on ebay from a mob called comp_trader,
somewhere out east. I bought an apple charger with a 30 day warranty -
it conked on day 30 from receipt but nothing would induce them to reply
to messages. Ebay were no help, either.
Good luck with your quest

Thanks Rob. Was that from seller szecom88 or Kylin's World, Rob? I see
one
for sale now by that eBay seller, but at a Buy It Now price of $39.98
inc
postage.
Cheers

I recently bought an iBook power adaptor from an eBay store located in
Hong Kong. The total price with shipping was $26 and the adaptor
arrive as advertised in about a week.

Just to rub salt into the wounds of my hard disk woes, my PowerBook
and
iBook pre-magsafe piece-of-cr*p power adaptor has finally bit the
dust
tonight as well. That's the 2nd one of these things to croak on me -
I guess
it doesn't help having kids ripping the connector in and out over
time. For
months now, two laptops have been sharing one power adaptor. Now
with the
near-death of the PowerBook, the iBook was getting excited about not
having
to share, but sadly for it, one of Apple's poorer designs has come
home to
roost :-(
Assuming no-one repairs these power adaptors any more economically
than a
replacement can be bought, anyone have an old one for sale or trade,
or know
anywhere that sells them? When I say trade, I have a 90-odd litre
tub full
of gadgets, cables of all descriptions, connectors, etc, most of
which were
bought for some once-only occasion and now are rarely or never used
- I
imagine many of you have the same collection though.
Actually, whilst on the subject of trade, maybe someone out there
with an
extra PowerBook hard disk might like to trade it for something I
have? I
don't think I can justify forking out the cash for a replacement
hard disk,
but I could probably justify handing over stuff I have but don't
need. All
good gear, and mostly had limited use. Let's see...Airport Extreme
dome base
station? Motorola cable modem? Dlink non-VoIP DSL router? Lantech 8-
port
ethernet hub? HP keyboard? Compaq keyboard? HP numeric keypad? Even
an
analogue modem surely with museum value, and an HP 4MP LaserJet
printer (now
I'm pushing it).
I look forward to the flood of offers!
