Apple PowerBook 160 Power Adapter
Because Apple uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Apple PowerBook 160 power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge any and all batteries and to provide a source of power for the unit. When choosing a new charger, the actual Apple brand is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you are desperate.
What symptoms are present when the AC adapter is crapping out?
- Battery does not charge whatsoever
- Most Apple AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The unit will not run without the battery installed
