Powerbook G3 Pismo - Charger question
Posted by: badCaps on 2020-05-17 17:05:51 Hello all, I just picked up a Powerbook G3 Pismo locally today but it's lacking a charger. I'm not entirely sure which chargers work but from what I can gather from quick searches, anything with the barrel connector should work, as long as it's the larger style as opposed to the later G4 smaller style. Could someone let me know if this will work: https://www.ebay.com/c/1490814852 Or do you know what part number the original charger is? This is my first ever G3 Powerbook so I'm just learning about them. I have no idea if this one even works but I'm also seeing that they may not boot with the internal clock battery if it's dead so I may need to replace that too. Thanks.
