I found the 60 watt on there for $49.99. That's probably exactly the one I
need for the early 08, which I found registered on that hard to find Apple
site looking for other info.

I'm always interchanging power bricks and they all worked just fine. If
you use a small low-wattage one it will run most laptops but you won't
be able to charge your battery at the same time. Last time I needed to
buy one was when my wife found one of the kids sucking on the plug. He
was unharmed but the power supply never worked right after that. At the
time I found a pretty good price at
http://www.megamacs.com/
but they seem to be having some database issue at the moment.

from the early intel macbooks, they were the same as the recent ones, with

where abouts are you? I can look up a specialist refurbs place in the USA
who carries older components.
what I could do with is the machine serial number and then go from there.
the system serial can be found through going to about this mac in the
apple manu and then going to more info, this opens system profiler and you
can get the system serial number and model from there.
cheers.

Yeah, I just knew that there were L shaped and T shaped ones, and if you
don't have the correct one, depending on the firmware in the machine, if
you originally had the older one, that's all you could charge with, and I
heard Apple doesn't make the old one now. Maybe I can get by with that
plug, but there's probably plenty of them on Ebay.

hi, the apple charger is pretty much a standard unit and there are no
compatible products due to patent applications from apple preventing
clones.
an option or two open to you is ebay for a refurb or used pack or even an
apple refurb company depending on where you are in the world.

Hi there. I have this Mac Book that I bought for a good deal some time
in 2008 or 2009, that was upgraded and was only 6 months used at that
time, if the guy ever did much with it besides keeping it around to
sell. When I took it home to my parents' place once, I never noticed
that the charger got in front of the car door, and some bracket snapped
off. My dad was able to super glue it back together and it works here,
but I might be getting a work experience where I might need to move it
around from one outlet to another since it only goes about 90 minutes in
Windows, and maybe a little more in Snow Leopard. From what I've read, a
new one of these costs around $80 and may not work, depending if my
machine successfully took a certain firmware update. Is there cheaper
places to get one like the original one that I have so I don't find
myself in a situation that a different kind doesn't charge the battery?
Thanks.
