Apple PowerBook 170 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. Because Apple has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. A universal power adapter can be used if you are desperate. When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Apple OEM charger is the best one to choose. The Apple PowerBook 170 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Signals of a poorly working power adapter
- The majority of Apple power chargers will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge up completely
- The unit will not operate while solely using the AC adapter
