[QUOTE="tharos13, post: 973939, member: 138499"] I've done that already (snatched one from the IT crew here at the office) but since the end that goes into the Mac doesn't have the round part, it fits in too loosely and can fall of a bit if the screen is moved in any direction... Thanks for all the help guys! It's not Snow Leopard new, got it just before SL was released. When I get home I'll go check out that Utilities bit. ****** Just as a footnote, I'd like to share my first experience at the big Regent Street Apple Store: I walked in and asked for a power cable and the guy that was helping me out said [B][I]"What machine is it for?"[/I][/B] I reply "My iMac" to which he says: [B][I]"Well you have to remember that iMacs are not made for traveling so unless you have a voltage converter you can practically fry your iMac"[/I][/B]... "what? I was told back in the store I bought it from that all I needed was to change the chords... I also read in a couple of Mac forums that it was OK..." [B][I]"Well.. You shouldn't believe everything you read in forums".[/I][/B] I still can't believe I got this from an actual Apple Store staff :Not-Amused: [/QUOTE]
