    I am looking to find a power adapter for an old A1095 powerbook. I received the powerbooks from a neighbor as payment for fixing another computer and the owner had no idea where the adapter was anymore. It also has a loose lid but that is fine...for now.

    I think I found two possibilities of power adapters.

    and

    http://www.amazon.com/Hipower-Adapter-Powerbook-Notebook-Computers/dp/B004M6AVBG

    If anyone has used either or knows betters one I would greatly appreciate it. I know the thing turns on because I took it to a used laptop store, they tested it and it worked, though it did requiring turn the plug a bit to get it to work. Would also like to update it to the newest OS possible, it has tiger and heard it can be updated to leopard. Thanks.

    I currently use a Powerbook G4 and I also had to get a replacement adapter because the other one was loose. Either one of those should work fine.

    This is the one I bought:
    AC ADAPTER POWER For Apple PowerBook G4 A1001 A1095 45W | eBay

    Those are more like the original adapters but really it's personal preference. I also have my Powerbook running Leopard and if you do that you might want to invest in a little more memory.
