Look, I know that sparks can be a good sign in a relationship, but not in the relationship between you and your Mac, right? But if you’ve seen sparks from your PowerBook or iBook’s power adapter, you aren’t alone. You may recall that Apple settled a class action suit with those who had to buy replacement adapters, but what you may not know is that the class of devices affected has recently been expanded.
You can get a PDF of all the affected computers from the settlement’s website, and if you’re among the affected, you could win big—up to $79 (the cost of purchasing a replacement adapter). If your brick failed after the first year, you can pick up $40; after the third year and you’ll net a sweet quarter of a hundred bucks. Course you’ll need proof of purchase in order to take advantage of the deal.
All the details are on the settlement’s site, so swing by if been among the legions of the suffering.
