I'd be amazed if that iBook still worked. I just took my old Windows PC out of storage to play some games on it, after 3 years of not using it. I feared the data would be corrupted, but after over 3 hours in automatic repairs and installing updates - it finally came back to life.
Maybe this is why, USB C become common (although some of them still using DC Jack or proprietary connector) for Laptop. To make charge it easy and not as painful as in video

If you want help. Let me know, there are 2 different chargers for these laptops and only 1 works. It will have wittten on the bottom “I was made in” and “my model number is” where the one you got won’t have this written on. Both have the same model numbers but a different plug on the end
Man I really wanna get my hands on one of these one day without paying a stupidly large amount of money. (Also I’m so sorry that you got the smaller size version… technically if you really want to, you can forcefully widen the barrel a bit and force it in there. I had to do that once and it actually did work. Though at some point it would be best to get the larger sized version. Sorry about that.)
Nothing wrong with going aftermarket if you spend the 30 seconds of time required to learn what is the right kind. Older laptops can be bricked with the wrong charger, so i understand the hesitancy but it would save you lots of money and only cost you 30 seconds of search results to figure out how to get the right one and not brick the thing.
ngl i’m super confused why that charger was so expensive. i see them here in the US in thrift stores often for around $5-10 USD, both types. but ya, my friend had the same issue.. bought a yoyo charger on ebay for his ibook g3 and it was the wrong one 😭😭 it was only $20 tho
Here’s something else you need to know. The hard drive is old and could probably be dead. It is so god damn hard to replace it you basically have to disassemble almost the whole computer.
I own one of these with the original charger but there are two different chargers with the same model number the way to tell the difference is the one for the clamshell is a light gray while the one for the PowerBook g4 is dark gray
Hey I know you might not see this but I have an exact one of the big ones that you showed the clear blue one if you want to buy it I think it still works I don't think we have power cords or anything for it though I'll give it to you for free
It should fit.....the yoyo charger was MADE for the G3 series of machines, if you got something else like the white brick I'd understand but i don't understand Does the power jack look damaged in anyway?
I have one, it cost me like $10 usd without charger, plus like $45 for that yoyo charger, it works right but I oppened to change and upgrade its HDD, after reassambly it wont turns on, so it is now getting dust in my house
look up the specs of the charger and buy a similar one. You can just stick the wires into the barrel jack. I had to splice a 2008 mac mini power supply to an hp barrel jack because my cheap ass parents couldn't buy a replacement charger for my laptop i used for school. And that's the least of terrible stories about my parents. My parents are going to a nursing home one day 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Famous last words “I guess we should just plug it it in”
The iMac G3 and the iBook G3, (the ibook's nickname is the clamshell) Was released in 1998. But Mac OS X was released from 1999.
Before that they just operated on the bios and shitted on the operating system.

"It hasn't been turned on in 10years"
That's what my dad said to mom
Don’t feel like a dummy, it’s an honest mistake.
Bend the metal around the charger, and it'll work, I had the same problem
The first time i saw one of those computers was in the early 2010's and I thought they were something completely new.

I didn't realize the Clamshell was as old as me, god I want one so bad
It looks like my old leap pad when I was a kid
Fun fact: this toilet seat of a laptop is the first device ever sold with WiFi
buying the wrong plug is kinda the worst investment you can make hands down
Pro tip. Goo gone and some hard work rubbing will get rid of the sticky on a lot of the old Mac stuff.
That actually looks cool
Hope u get the right one
Dang man I feel ya, I hope you find one that works!
This was posted on my birthday 😂
That was also the world’s first wifi capable computer as before that you needed a wifi card or dongle to use wifi in any computer! :)
Amazing video
The blue iMac looks like a iMac DV, introduced in 2000. The 1999 model had the case of the original 1998 iMac.

That ibook clamshell was 24 years ago which its made in 1999 and it havent turned on since 2013 and you have to buy a new one to turn on
The IBook might have a lost battery. If you don’t use it for a long time, it shuts off
