Power­book G4 Power Con­nec­tor Replace­ment : Scream­ing Light Studios

Last night, both the power socket on the side of my com­puter and the plug on the end of my AC/DC adapter broke. I’ve known this was a bad design since I bought my lap­top 4 1/2 years ago. So, I went online and found this guy’s advice on putting a generic power socket on, and fol­lowed it today. It took me a while, but I got it. My brother helped sol­der and my dad helped with advice, and I’m pleased to announce that my com­puter is pow­ered up and work­ing bet­ter than ever. On top of fix­ing the annoy­ing plug that came unplugged every 10 sec­onds, I also erad­i­cated a case buzz I used to get on my alu­minum lap­top shell. Also, while inside, I cleaned some stuff up and my track­pad but­ton works bet­ter, as does my blue­tooth card.

Mis­sion accomplished.
