| PowerBook 1400 AC adapter on a Wallstreet G3? | |
| Posted by: Huxley on 2022-08-18 14:25:21 Hi all! Got a pretty straightforward question: will the AC brick from my PowerBook 1400 work with a "Wallstreet"-style PowerBook G3? The barrel plug looks to be the right size and shape, but the brick itself lacks any info about power output (it's just a blank space where that sticker should be), so I don't wanna just try it and fly the Wallstreet. Thanks! Huxley | |
| Posted by: 3lectr1cPPC on 2022-08-18 14:40:02 Yes it will work. Any Apple-supplied adapter with that plug style will work on any Apple computer with that plug. Here's a list: PowerBook Duo (any) PowerBook 1400 PowerBook 2400 PowerBook 3400 PowerBook G3 (any) iBook G3 "Clamshell" Any of the Apple-shipping chargers for any of those laptops will work on any of those laptops. Later laptops starting with the PowerBook G4 Titanium and the Snow iBooks used a smaller jack. Edit: To further back this up, here’s my 3400 AC adapter next to a Yo-yo style adapter. The 3400 adapter’s label is slightly different from my 1400 adapter’s label but they are both model M4896 and output the same as well.  | |

| Posted by: 3lectr1cPPC on 2022-10-27 05:16:05 Later ones use a smaller tip, I guess they didn’t change the model number of the yo-yo to match. | |
| Posted by: MacUp72 on 2022-10-27 23:03:47 Yes, it is the same as the G4 PWs ones with the smaller outer 7,7 mm tip ring..I didn't realize that there were Jojo's that late. I'll have to look for a fitting one.. | |
Posted by: sfp1954 on 2023-07-20 11:12:47well my M7332 Adapter doesn't fit to the 1400..There are two models. One with the G3 end and one with the smaller G4 end. | |
| Posted by: 3lectr1cPPC on 2023-07-20 12:16:58 G3 Snow iBooks used the small one too. | |
Posted by: MacUp72 on 2023-07-20 12:48:53Yes, it is the same as the G4 PWs ones with the smaller outer 7,7 mm tip ring..I didn't realize that there were Jojo's that late.I already wrote that october last year..😆 | |
