Power connector broken

[thetinman]

Hi all, a friends iBook G4 won't charge any more due to the power adaptor connection port being broken (he stood on the cord) and i was wondering if anyone knows roughly how much it will cost to fix?

Thanks.

The power module is available on Ebay relatively cheap, otherwise firms like iFixit (http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/iBook-G4-12-Inch/83)provide the part, and good directions on how to tackle the job of installing it. This work is not for the faint of heart, but will cost much less than having a Genius do it!
