Question about the Macbook charger

iBookfan · Feb 28, 2008, 05:12 PM

Hi

Can I change the adapter on my US charger to the adapter who came with my iPod charger (EU) or my old iBook adapter (EU)?

Is that possible?

Yes, the plugs should be interchangeable between these.

One note, the iPod chargers, being two prong, obviously have no grounding prong, so yeah...if that's important to you.... I actually changed out my three prong for the two prong cord from my sister's broken powerbook's brick and it works wonderfully and I don't have to worry about finding a three prong outlet.
The only disadvantage I find is that I get shocked a lot....
