I need to purchase a new Portable Power Adapter which has a barrel type connection. The one I have is not working.

I need to purchase a new portable power adapter which has a barrel connector. Can not locate a new power adapter on the web site. Went through the troubleshooting, it is definitely not charging. Any one have info on this?

You can buy from Apple. Or other vendors, such as Amazon.

Check the wattage - it is printed on the side of the charger. Do not buy a lower wattage.

Here's one. Note this is not an endorsement, only an example.

Apple no longer shows any Powerbook chargers so you are looking for a third-party charger if yo ubuy new. I found this one:

NewerTech 65W AC Power Adapter PowerBook G4, iBook G4 & G3
