Reader: ordering various AC Plugs for TiPB

updated 07:50 am EST, Fri January 11, 2002


Phillip De Leon writes: "After calling Apple (and falling on deaf ears) to inquire how I could order various AC plugs (tips) for the new TiPB power adapter (see attached picture) for overseas electrical connections, I did a bit of investigative work. Looking very closely at the plug (made by Well Shin of China) and a bit of web searching, here is the place where you can order for various countries for a nice clean solution. Finally, the TiPB power adapter will do 100-240V/50-60Hz all you need is the proper plug."

    I can verify...


    Yes, the TiBook can do 220 easly. I just picked up a $3 plug adapter from a luggage store, and away I went.

    I was using it in Amsterdam, and had no trouble. I did notice one strange thing... The power "brick" ran much cooler over there, it wasn't even warm to the touch.

    Adapter

    The adapter in those pictures doesn't look anything like the current adapter. Where do you plug that three-pronged thing into? The new adapter requires a slotted thing to slide onto it...

    It's a standard adapter!

    Just go to your local electrical store and buy a standard 2 prong power cable. I'm in the UK PowerBooks over here don't come with the nice molded ones that the US gets, we just got a standard 2 Meter Power cable.

    And yes, the Power Adapter is the same and accepts all voltages from 100 - 240v at 50-60Hz.

    I don't know about the previous poster, but my brick gets very warm almost hot to the touch.
