MUST READ: Adaptor doesn't deserve the "plug" I gave it in my earlier review! [Posted on 2008-07-02]
Spoke praises too soon after owning the product for just a couple of days. Turned out, after about five days of use, the adaptor would not charge my battery -- I'd plug it in, but the battery icon and the a/c power icon (lightning bolt) kept flickering back and forth as the battery drained down. I guess in this case, "adaptor" is an acronym for A Disappointing Amazon Purchase To Obviously Return. I packed up the product, returned it, and was promptly sent a new one, which had the same exact problem after only one hour of use -- if you read the other one-star reviews here, you'll see that this is a very common problem with this product! I'm nutty enough to give it one more try, if they'll send me yet another adaptor -- will post again with review, and if the third one doesn't work, either, I believe the seller has a moral obligation to remove this product from Amazon. Oh, and for the record, I tried my old original Apple adaptor and, despite it's loose, wobbly connection, it charged my computer just fine! (So the problem is definitely their product, not my computer.)
Only if you have the comp listed as compatable [Posted on 2008-07-08]
Beware: some customers reviewed this product as compatible with other apple computers, besides those listed as compatible. I have an ibook G4 from 2005 and this charger did not work on my computer. It fit in the slot and my computer registered a charger, but it didn't ever begin charging. It is true that the real apple charger is $80 and is known to catch on fire, melt, etc, so I would recommend buying an alternate charger - just be sure it is compatible.
lemon! [Posted on 2008-07-09]
just got this charger yesterday to replace my broken apple charger.
All this charger does is allow me to turn on the computer (sometimes), it does NOT charger my powerbook g4.
Only lasts 6 months [Posted on 2008-07-10]
I bought this power adapter and it worked just fine at first. I took good care of it and after about six months it just stopped working.
Macally Power cord [Posted on 2008-07-15]
Macally is a terrible company. NOT worth the money you save. I recently bought a power cord thru them that emits an electrical current thru my computer. They will only send me a replacement but won't give me my money back. Not worth the risk. Buy Mac!
