Mac mini 85W Power Adaptor?
Looking for an explanation of what this device is used for. The Model is #A1105. Have acquired one and am seeking to sell it.
Thank you
Because of their incredibly compact size, the Mac minis have an external power supply. The external supply converts household AC current into DC current, to provide power to the computer's internal components. The 85-watt P-S (model A1105) is intended for use with the 2005 to early-2006 Mac minis having a PowerPC G4 processor. These models had processor speeds of 1.25, 1.33, 1.42, and 1.5 GHz. The power supply that you have cannot be used with the Intel processor-based Mac minis, that were first introduced in February 2006. The power supplies for the Intel models have greater output (wattage). You could sell it at ebay, but you'd want to test it with a voltmeter, to ensure that it's functioning at spec. If you know someone who has one of the G4 Mac minis, that would be the easiest way to test it.
