Where do I find the old style Mac Book Pro Charger for a Mac Book Pro purchased in 2009?
The connector is different in the old chargers than in the new ones. My daughter bought an off brand, and it blew up! We want to buy her a bonafide apple product, but we are not sure where to find it.

AnswerI had to get a power cord for my G5 Mac once and had to call Apple and have them look up the part number and order it from a real person. You should be able to do the same with the power adapter extension lead as well.

I have a MacBook Pro 17" from 2007. It came with a model A1290 85w power adapter that is now completely shot. Will this adapter work?
Is there any power adapter that will replace the 85w Mag Safe model A1290? If not does Apple still sell the A1290?

Best AnswerAir uses 45 watt, all other 13 inchers use 60W, 15 and 17 use 85W, but 85W charger is compatible with every mac that uses MagSafe so I always recommend the 85W as a more universally compatible purchase. Same price.

Answer
It basically comes with a power adapter for a MacBook and Macbook Pro NOT MacBook Air and it also comes with an extension cable for the power adapter. Because the power adapter cable is quite short, however with the extension its a perfect length.

Answer
Yes. I would recommend using the long 3-pin grounded extension cord lead with the magsafe adapter brick and plugging that into a US-UK grounded adapter plug.

AnswerI would get an 85W charger so that one charger could charge both laptops no problem. Macbook airs have voltage regulators that can lower the voltage coming into the computer.

Will the 45w adapter work on a Macbook white 13''??

Best AnswerIt will work fin in a pinch but I don't recommend you using it with a DVD, while charging the battery and taxing the CPU, etc. as you'll overload the adapter. If you just need to charge the battery when you shut down for the day it will work fine. Or if you have to get that email NOW in the airport terminal and you brought the wrong adapter it will work fine.
