[QUOTE="chuckalicious, post: 204145, member: 14875"] Don't do it. As far as I'm aware no PC, laptop, Mac, anything, will accept power coming INTO it via a USB port. USB ports give power, not accept them. The iBook, just like all other laptops will have a very specific charging mechanism, which will be linked soley to the normal charging port, and the battery. Do not do it. However, in saying that, I'd love to see what would happen, just in a more controlled environment. Never seen an iBook explode :) [/QUOTE]
