Perhaps I can get a second confirmation on whether the Powerbook G4 Titanium 400Mhz uses a 45W or 65W adapter. I've uised 45 on it and it does not come on. I need to rule out the power adapter, and start considering other issues to fix this.
I hope mine is among the "latter models". > -Jonas > > On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 4:52 PM, Kris Tilford <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > > On Dec 22, 2008, at 4:36 PM, nestamicky wrote: > > > Someone said I can use the 45W PSU and it should work.
