Powerbook Duo power adapter recap.

The power adaptor blew up in smoke. I am trying to open to it see what blew. Problem is I can't find a way to open it. Anyone know how I can open it?

Usually you have to damage them a bit to open them. The Duo isn’t difficult to power; I would use a modern equivalent power brick personally.

I had feeling that I will have to damage to get it. Thank you for confirming that. I have duo dock that I can use to power it. I was curious was what blew and fixing it.

The Duo adapter has a RIFA cap inside, that would be what blew. It probably still works as well.
