Hello all,
My power adapter (model A1021) for my Powerbook G4 has died (shorted out) and I need a reliable power adapter that I can get my hands on in the next couple of days. Does anyone have any experience with the non apple power adapters????
I tried to get an apple one but they are pretty rare these days and as it turns out, they are not very good. No one has one localy and when i called apple to order one, they told me they'd be happy to send me one in 4 to 6 weeks. I use my mac for work and can't go without it for 6 weeks (which did not seem to matter to the fine people at apple.) They also did not inform me that there may be some off brand adapters that I could buy. The only option they offered me was to shut down my business for the next 6 weeks while I wait for them or buy a new mac.
I did some research and found out the reason the item is back-ordered is that they are poorly made and people are going through them like hotcakes and apple just can't keep up. It's a top seller at the applestore.com with over 1400 negative reviews (1.5 star rating) in the past 12 months. For a good laugh click here...
