Sexy, Cool(?) 45W A/C Adapter M4402 . . .

Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-05-19 12:11:09 . . . I was cutting up the packing boxes (they reproduce around here like rabbits for some reason :🙂 ) and made a belated conquest of the coolest looking and slimmest A/C adapter I've ever seen. Except for the Duo A/C adapter, of course, those little babies ROCK! The only drawback is the two prong Appliance type A/C cord/socket combo, I hate these things on anything but stationary appliances . . . . . . only problem, these appear to have a rep as being very un-cool . . . https://discussions.apple.com/thread/503255?start=0&tstart=0 . . . so, of course, there's no info there about the serial number cutoff. 😛 Mine says: 980518913 REV. A I hope that means the first revision fixed the overheating problem. However I'm guessing it was made 5/18/98. :-/ Clues? :?:

Posted by: CC_333 on 2013-05-21 18:41:12 I have one of those, albeit without the plug at the computer end (I stepped on it and it got torn off). I suppose a new plug could be spliced on, though (like from a cheap generic adapter or a broken yo-yo). I learned that there was a recall, and I was able to get a free of charge replacement yo-yo type adapter that way. As I recall, Apple wanted me to return the old one... ...but I never did 😉 c
