iBook Power Cable Fix

| | Comments (1) |

When Mary Clarie turns 10, she gets to play pool at Gramalie and Grandad's because of the "double digit" rule. She pushed Grandad with an "I'm oh eight (08) so I can play!" Didn't work.

She also gets to use the Apple iBook again after being banned with a "two strikes and your out" rule. The first strike burned out the adapter plug with a short. ($80.) The second strike sliced (but did not break) the new replacement. The cool all-white adapter with it's orange/green glowing plug now has uncool looking black electrical tape along the middle of the slim cord.

The slim cord is a real weakness, especially the way it follows around the wireless iBook as needed. Peter says Tesla was working on wireless power.

I'm going to try to repair the shorted cable.

According to MacEroni I can wire in one from Lind Electronics. It won't have an orange/green glow, but it will give us an alternate power supply.
