Great machines!! Bought them both used in 2006. Three years later, they're both doing fine. And I'm a power user. <br /> <br />Over the same three years, I have had to purchase about 4 of these Apple Power Adaptors (part M8943LL/A). <br /> <br />Basically the same thing would happen--after 6-8 months, the part the connected to the laptop would get extremely hot (seriously, you could hot keep your hand on it for more than a second), the cable would fray and no power would be supplied. Before this happened, I'd have to twist and turn the connector and listen for a disturbing "spark" noise to before it would provide power. <br /> <br />2 of these things actually started smoking before they went dead. One of them burned a hole into my sofa. Luckily I was home to catch it or there would have been a major fire. <br /> <br />DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. IT IS DANGEROUS. <br /> <br />There are SEVERAL third party solutions, many here on Amazon. Apple could have recaptured this money by being a stand up company and making a better replacement adaptor. But, as they've recently shown, they have stars in their eyes due to the success of iPod and iPhone and no longer care about supporting their legacy users. <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 I have two Powerbook G4s.
