It cost me less than $5 in parts and a little time. You need to have a soldering iron and know how to use it. The replacement doesn't light up and doesn't have the metal collar around it but it works and will charge the old iBook and my new iBook G4. If you want more details let me know and I will try to find the part number and put some instructions together.</DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">iBook mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:iBook@listserver.themacintoshguy.com">iBook@listserver.themacintoshguy.com</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/ibook">http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/ibook</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Listmom is trying to clean out his closets!
