Hi, I Just bought a used Ibook with no charger - where can I get one?



All it says on the laptop is IBook Model number A1007



The battery is dead so I can't boot it up. I found some charges on ebay but I'm not sure if I have a G3, G4, etc.



There is a battery but no charger. Is there a universal charger I can get from radio shack or does it need to be an apple specific charger?



Thanks,



Jeff

    Are you near an Apple store for a Mac Genius to check out?



    Does your iBook have color (e.g., blue, green, orange, etc.) or is it all white? An all white iBook is a G4 color versions have G3 chips. As far as I know, the power adapters for all the G3 iBooks is the same, while all the power adapters for the G4 iBooks are also the same (if I am wrong, someone please correct me). But they are two different power adapters.



    Once you determine what model you have, try small dog electronics or eBay to find a power adapter.

    Go to Apple Menu>About This Mac and post the name of the processor.



    If you have a G4, try this.



    If you have a G3 eBay is your best bet.
