How to replace power adapter for PowerBook G4

I have a three year old powerbook G4 and the power adapter is toast (at least I think that's the problem). Doesn't charge and no illuminated ring around the connector to the computer.
Does anyone know how to replace this? Can't find it anywhere online or at Mac retailers.
Thanks.

Replace the power adapter plug? Most folks won't bother, it's a hassle. The whole adapter is easily available from any Mac vendor. But before replacing anything, have you tried the following:
-reset the Power Management Unit (PMU)

-reset the PRAM

-unplug the power adapter from the wall socket for a while to reset.

Where can I get accessories and power adapter for Powerbook 180c

My father just bought me second hand a Powerbook 180c. It looks to be in great condition. But it can't be checked to make sure as the battery is dead and the power adapter was not with it. I've looked on line at various stores, Office Depot, Staples, Amazon, Buy, etc only to find that they either do not carry Apple products or the accessories and power adapters would not work. Or the prices are disgustingly high. Due to illness I cannot work and my parents are on a limited budget. Does anyone know what sites carry accessories and power adapters that will work on the 180c without breaking the bank, atleast a power adapter for now, to see if the 180c even works? Any advice appreciated.

Hi, I'm not sure that a retail store will still carry an adaptor this old unless it's a generic one.
I just checked mine, as Jan says it is 7.5V DC at 3.0A don't get the older version which was for older PowerBooks as it was only 2.0A. The part number on my 3.0A is M5652.
This fellow on eBay seems to have lots.

Buying the right replacement power adapter for HP Envy

The original power adapter for my brother's HP Envy Touchsmart laptop has appears to have partially melted. I'm trying to find the correct adapter to use as a replacement, but I have questions because it looks like he will have to order one of the Smart adapters, which is not what he used originally. The product number is E0M27UA#ABA. If you need any more information just ask and I will try to post it as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance for any help you can give us.

Replacement power adapter for 2008 MacBook Pro

Does anybody know if you can get a replacement power adaptor for the 2008 MacBook Pro. Mine crapped out and I'm freaking because the one they have for sale does not look like it will work, help PLEASE!!!!

If I think I know what your saying, it sounds like the store only had the Magsafe 2 connectors for the new model Macbook Pro's. The good news is yes stores still sell both Magsafe 1 and Magsafe 2 adapters. My advice would be to just take your adapter into the store and show the sales person what you need.

Replacement power adapter for Gigaworks T20 speakers

I need a replacement power supply for my Gigaworks T20 speakers. Where do you get this? The Creative Web site seems to have no information about where to get it, so any information would be appreciated.

Try to find out universal AC/DC adapter at amazon/newegg, such as this one (U.K. version): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Regulated-2000mA-Adapter-P-007F/dp/B002YY9E/ref=sr__/275-2088-483635?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=262244783&sr=8- It has many plugs, one probably must fit. But before switching the power, one should figure out the polarity of connectors. It's not the first time Creative power supplies show below average reliability. I think Creative should choose top quality power adapter suppliers, such as Antec, Delta or Seasonic, not some cheaper lower quality parts.

Correct power adapter for PowerBook 1ghz Titanium?

Could someone please confirm which power adapter is the correct one for use with a Titanium PowerBook 1ghz, as would have been shipped with the PowerBook from Apple?
I've been searching and have found a number of model numbers ie M8743LL/A, A1021, 661-3746 and 661-3346....
Which is the same one as would have shipped from Apple with the PowerBook 1ghz Ti?
Im in Europe, UK if that matters to the model number?

OK, I have a unit with A1021 on it. I recall that one could get the international plug set as an accessory and just replace the little clip-on adapter, but the unit itself remained the same model number. If you have the clip-on plug or cord assembly already for UK plugs, then the A1021 should work fine.
This might help, as well:

Replace power adapter for Tecra 8100

Hi support,
I have Tecra 8100 where its original power adapter has died. I need to buy a new one, but I found that Toshiba has replaced the PA2444U adapter model with a new model. Which power adapter model that is now compatible with Tecra 8100?
Thanks. I really need an answer because I need to work with the laptop.

The Tecra 8100 will function with many adapters from Tecra 8000, 8200, 9000, 9100 and the M1, M2 range etc.
There are of course differences in the output current rating, but in practice it is still possible to use a higher output adapter without issue, provided the voltage is 15V DC.
For example, I am currently using a model PA2450U (15V, 3A) plugged into my Tecra 9100 port replicator and this works fine. The only potential down side is that it might take longer to charge the battery than it would with the correct model (which would be rated 4A).
This means you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a suitable substitute.

Replacement power adapter for the ZenTouch 2

Can you believe someone stole my power adapter, but not the player itself? WTF?
Gotta love NYC. Anywho, I looked on the site here and did not see a power adapter listed for the ZenTouch 20GB. Anyone know if this exists or not? I saw one for the Zen Nomads, but they didn't list any of the ZenTouch models. Would appreciate some help on this.
Thanks all,
Tim

This one will work. Creative really need to update this page and make it very clear what models this works with.

Where buy Power Adapter for cheapest Zire

I have a Zire from a couple years ago, the cheapest one you can buy. So cheap it wasn't on display where you had to get a slip and ask customer service to get the item for you from the back. You could just get it off the shelf, it was so cheap. It think it was called Zire 1 or something. Where can I buy a replacement power adapter for it?

Hello citrus8 and welcome to the Palm forums.
You should check with PDAParts.com or UsedPDAParts.com. UnityElectronics.com might also be a source if the first two don't have any spare parts.

Dead power adapter for modem hg612.

I am trying to find out how to get a new power adapter for this modem. I have had it for 20 months and it suddenly died. I spoke to bt help in India but I couldnt get them to understand what I needed. It didnt seem to be on their pages that they go through. Anyway they said that an engineer would come out to look at it. This was saturday morning past and the engineer wont be here til thursday. I would have thought there was somebody I could contact to get an new psu posted out without expensive engineer visits.
I know its the psu thats failed because I replaced it temporarily with one from my photoalbum and it works fine.
many thanks for any help you can offer

The PSU and Modem belong to Openreach. They don't have a stores or delivery process to just send kit out. They'll want to replace the whole kit and there for an engineer visit is required.

Could I have got a new power adapter for free?

My power adapter for my mac stopped working recently and as far as I know I didn't cause any damage to it myself.
I read the following on the apple website:
Additional Information
Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.
Which seems to suggest that even out of warrenty, if the charger has broken of it's own accord you can still get a free replacement?
I took my adapter and mac to the shop, they said there were no signs of accidental damage but said I still have to pay for it. I referred to this statement from the website but they were very dismissive and kept saying it was out of warrenty. Perhaps i'm reading the statement wrongly.
Just wondered if anyone could clarify :-)

As you indicated, it depends on the results of the evaluation.
Apple takes responsibility when design faults cause certain failures, especially when it represents a safety concern. There have been a small number of cases where failure met certain characteristics that Apple deemed that it should not have happened, regardless of age or use.
I am reluctant to indicated the specificity of some of these issues, because for many reasons Apple would not want us speculating on the subject. Suffice it to say your product failure may not have met any particular characteristics associated with failures deemed to have extended coverage.
If your product failed for an unknown reason, or apparently a failure stemming from age or normal life expectancy use, and it was after the normal expiry of warranty, then no further consideration was given. You need to buy and pay for a new one, unless you yourself, can provide extenuating circumstances to consider.

Portable Power Adapter
Model No. A1021
Cord seems to be fine, just need the brick.
Thank you!!

The '12 PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz now uses the same power adapter as your iBook G4 does. The '12 PowerBook G4s originally shipped with the 45 power adapter brick Model A1022 but they started catching fire so Apple immediately recalled them. Just tell who you talk you on Apple's Support hotline that you want the power adapter that the '12 PowerBook G4 or iBook G4 uses.
Their Tech Support phone number is 1-800-274-2273.
