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.

Subject: Re: Any cheaper way to get a new charger that works with my
somewhat older Macbook?
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.
