old power cords - where to buy them?

[tkjazzer]

the new girl I started dating mentioned that she bent the round piece on her mac's (laptop) older style power cord.

I don't know if she had a powerbook or the version below it, but wondered where I would be able to purchase replacements.

didn't see them on the apple store.

does it matter if the cord is made for powerbook vs ibook?

Older power adapters (i.e., non-magsafe) are not under a patent so there have been plenty of 3rd party development of adapters. You can almost certainly find one in a large electronics store, online, or with ebay.

OWC (macsales.com) has one for $35. eBay appeared to have them for around $15. But since she still has it (and the computer) figure out what model it works with first. The power output requirements are printed on the AC unit itself.

Older style? Do you mean the yo-yo adapter?

"The round piece" isn't very helpful, could you be more specific?
