[QUOTE="zarathu, post: 1266065, member: 138477"] I take it that it is out of warranty. You DO NOT WANT TO BE PURCHASING powersupply components that are not Apple and then trying to make them fit into an Apple machine. You need genuine apple parts. You can get away with this for batteries, external power supplies, RAM, HD's, but if it needs to internally, you need the Apple Part. Or you may have no Mac at all. Why would the repair shop make you buy the part? They should have better access to these parts than you. That sounds hokey to me, more like they don't know what they are doing. And forget about purchasing something from Australia and having it shipped to the UK in any normal time period. And besides, the dude from Australia is likely to ship you a small plastic brick: like what are you going to do about it when you get a piece of plastic instead of a power supply. Never buy ebay out of the country. Inf fact never buy important ebay stuff that you can't physically pick up unless you can afford to lose the money for it. This is all too too weird. You will need to go to an Apple Dealer or an authorized Apple repair shop and find out what to do. [/QUOTE]
