Nov 29, 2013 9:01 AM in response to john fellmerby Jan Hedlund,The iBook needs a power adapter with a barrel-type DC connector. The output specifications should be printed on the lower part of the computer. If the values are 24 V DC, 1.875 A maximum, a 45 W power rating would be sufficient. A higher current (A) or power (W) rating for the power adapter would be OK, but the output voltage may not exceed 24 V DC.

If it is not possible to find an Apple power adapter, there are third-party replacements. It is important that the (barrel-type) connector is the correct one for the very computer. If you have to go this route, make sure that it is a good quality device from a reputed source.
