Yeah, that is more than 5x what I paid for the laptop, at that point just better of getting a wrecked machine and at least I will end up with some extra parts. I'll shoot that gentleman an email tomorrow, it is worth a shot.

Yeah it says out of stock for me, I don't mind buying from overseas if it was in stock and not crazy priced.

I recently got a PowerBook G4 A1025 in a lot that I am refurbing. The machine generally seems to run beautifully and is in pretty good shape outside of some missing screws; that and what I thought was just a missing HDD. Apparently the genius before me removed the HDD flex/ribbon cable when they...

Sure 2.1 for the 20v then, it just makes it a little simpler for me because for some reason the adapter for the 20v style plug utilizes a 2.1x5.5 for some reason. The 15v is perfectly fine with the 2.5x5.5.

3d printed is fine with me personally, especially if that is easier. Yes, one 20v and one 15v would cover basically the whole 90s to early 2000s quite nicely. For the 15v 2.5x5.5 is the exact tip size so that should be perfect. For the 20v I would be using another adapter to convert barrel to...

I tested a Thinkpad 770 at 15v and there was no issues, so there is clearly some headroom like with a Powerbook. I am game for a 15v or 20v adapter as I have Thinkpads that use either (or both). So if you can get the parts, I am totally interested. This isn't a rush for me or anything, I just...

That would be quite perfect! I am going to see if 15v would be adequate with some bench power. My gut says that it should be fine, especially if not charging a battery which is sort of irrelevant given my use case.

A bit off topic, but what would be involved to get something like this working with a barrel adapter. I have an IBM Thinkpad 770 I use daily for work, as well as some other Thinkpads that use 2.5mm/5.5mm 16v (16V 3.36 Amps) power supplies. Rebuilding batteries is a nightmare for a number of...

Are you willing to build a 520c adapter? If so I am interested.

Just to throw a voice out there, if you Definitely interested here. I have a Pismo I would love to take out and about.
