    1. No Powerbook model ever came with a Magsafe connector. I know. I have had them all. Since you specificall mentioned a Powerbook G4, no G4-powered Apple laptop in 12-, 15- or 17-inch was ever released with a Magsafe. The power adapters on these units plugged on the right rear side of the unit and used something that looked like a collared mini-stereo plug with a pilot light around the collar. This is probably how you know that the charger stops working. If it stops charging while being used, the problem is probably not in the adapter but in the unit itself. Ageing Powerbooks tend to be prone to problems that cause the power management unit of the computer to shut down power to prevent damage. It can be as simple as dirty insides which can not be adequately cooled. It can be an overheating trackpad and/or display module (yikes!). It can also be something that can be solved in firmware by tweaking some settings. Once the unit starts restarting on its own and then gets hard to start up you know that the problem has worsened. Is it normal for this type of unit? Yes, but by my experience only for those that have been misused and/or badly maintained.
    2. I suggest that you send it in to an Apple repair facility for cleaning before things get out of hand. They will also evaluate it and let you know what future problems you can expect. The problem can also be an overheating battery by the way.

     

     

    SIR THANKS. ANO RECOM KUNG SAAN PWEDENG MAGPA-CHECK? PLANNING TO BUY MACBOOK THE NEXT FEW WEEKS PERO SAYANG NAMAN TO. NO IDEA KASI AKO KUNG SAAN MERON EH. THANKS AGAIN. YOU'VE BEEN VERY HELPFUL IN THIS THREAD...

  1. Somebody gave me a PowerBook G4 para i-convince akong mag-mac. It's uses a magsafe charger. I noticed one thing however. When I am using the mac and it gets hotter, the charger shuts down. When I unplug it and re-plug it after few minutes, it charges again. If the unit it off, the charging is continuous without interruption. Is this normal to this type of unit? Hope to hear a reply. Thanks in advance!

  3. Palagi akong dumadaan sa SLEX at NLEX. Nakita ko kung paani ginawa both. Ibang iba. B*$@sh&t ang SLEX. Biro mo mula Lipa to Manila at one point, inabot ako ng 5 hours sa sobrang traffic. Whoa!

  4. I recently bought a WATCHPHONE from Singapore. Yup! It's a watch with a SIM slot and memory card. Can be used for calling, texting and with its cable can be used as a storage device. It has a slot for T-flash (micro SD) capable up to 4 GB (one that I tried). It also has a camera (don't expect it to be good though) and an MP3 player which can be played and heard thru its speaker or a headset that comes with it. May bluetooth and charger ding kasama. Pangit lang yung bluettoth kasi bumibitaw. But with my Jabra 8040, this gadget is outstanding!
