[QUOTE="msward, post: 671688, member: 54192"] My powerbook finally hit the end. It is dented and scratched from years of enjoyment and now does not power up. I am thinking that it is more cost effective at this point to replace it than repair. I've tried plugging the adapter in, the light turns yellow, but all I get is a little bit of buzzing and no joy turning it on. I just have a few questions for experts in hardware, as I am very hardware retarded. 1. The problem is with the plug for the AC Adapter inside the computer. Is it easy/cheap to replace? 2. Where could I recycle this computer if the harddrive is pulled, and still put a little bit of green in my pocket? 3. Where could I get the harddrive pulled inexpensively? 4. If this were you, what would you do? Thanks in advance for the help, and please excuse me for being a newbie! -Matt [/QUOTE]
