I'm looking for a spare AC cord for my PowerBook charger (you know, the adapter that you can put on your charger to make it longer). Does anyone have one that they're willing to part with?

Is it for the 65W version? I have a G4 that came with the 65W charger. I should have been more clear. If that's the version you have I'll offer $14 shipped.

Yeah, I have PayPal.

When you say "it will work with that" does that mean it's not from an actual Apple adapter? Do you have a pic?

The cord part has no compatibility issues. You can use it on anything Apple currently makes (if it fits, it'll work :D)

Nevermind, I can't read. I see that it came from an iBook G3. Sorry. I would like to see a pic if you dont mind, though.

Thanks for the pic. Are you sure that will work with my adapter? It seems like the end piece is a smaller on your cord. I can't tell, does the plug have 3 prongs?

what kind of power cord do you have
yo-yo adapter?
or square adapter?

This one only works with the square

You need to be careful. All newer powerbooks use a 3-prong adaptor and won't accept a 2-prong one for grounding reasons

this is a 2 prong

I have a new G4 that uses the square adaptor. The included AC cord is 3-pronged so I'm looking for the same cord. Thanks though!

Anyone else have one they'd be willing to sell? I'd like a spare to leave plugged in behind my bed so I don't have to pull the bed out everynight to plug my PB in.

How do I get one from Apple? On the website my only option is to buy an entire charger for $79.

It's a repair part. You can call Apple or go to your nearest Apple store, and they should be able to hook you up with one.

Thank you everyone who suggested I go through Apple. I went to my local Apple store yesterday and one of the geniuses gave me a new cord for free. Score!
