Feb 7, 2016 5:42 AM in response to sandy01by Kenichi Watanabe,I don't think you'll be able to get the original power adapter from Apple, but OWC lists a compatible third-party item
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/APLPBI65W/
Click Compatibility on the product description to make sure your particular PowerBook model is listed.

Feb 7, 2016 5:45 AM in response to Japibby sandy01,Sorry should have said I'm in the UK, and have trolled through countless third party sites looking but can't find one.

Feb 7, 2016 6:01 AM in response to sandy01by Kenichi Watanabe,Maybe OWC can ship to UK at a reasonable cost. Their "shipping info" page has international shipping details.

At least they provide specific details about the item, and precisely what models are compatible. And how many other retailers still stock (new) power adapters for a 10+ year old PowerBook?

Feb 8, 2016 1:29 AM in response to sandy01by K Shaffer,Another US based company (among others) says they ship 'international' and their site shows
two original PowerBook G4 65W Apple Power Adapters. (New: $24. + ship / Used: $16. + ship)
• Powerbook G4 AC Adapter - used mac.com -- they also offer working PowerBook G4s.
Some other examples of similar items may appear in a search such as this:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=PowerBook+G4+AC+Adapter+with+UK+cord&t=ffsb&ia=product s
Those have the toggle-head parts that come off, so a UK one (or suitable power extension)
could be adapted; or a UK solid shape duck-head replacement can be fitted, for local power.
The extension cable, usually an option, could have a local plug-end fitted to the cable, too.
I've managed to keep a few extra ones on-hand, because they fit iBook G4 (14-inch/12-inch)
as well as older less demanding models of both PowerBook/iBook G3/G4. The extension
cable will fit other Apple products; I've found spares in second-hand store sale bins.
Good luck & happy computing!
