FUCK!!!!!

Does anybody in the Chicago area know where I can get a power cord for a clamshell iBook ASAP??

(Don't tell me to look online--I don't have that much battery time left! Nor do I have two days to wait for it to come in the mail.)

ETA: OK, it still works if I hold it at a certain angle. Got it taped down, so it's recharging. Grrrr. Still need new one ASAP! Why is everything I own rubbish? --Ron Weasley.

ETA2: Just ordered one over the phone from some guy in Michigan whose site I found at Low End Mac, THE go-to site for us junkyard apples. Cross fingers my current one doesn't die before it gets here, because if it does, I am up SHIT CREEK.

I hear you on that ethic. While I am replacing my laptop this summer, I am going to give the old one to my sister for her kids to use; so I bought a new power cord (the old one having that same problem it sounds like yours has) and battery so that it'll run, it otherwise being in good shape really. But I didn't have the time pressure thing!

Make sure you get all the porn off it first. XD (Forgetting sounds like something I'd do.)

Oh yes. I'm actually thinking I will wipe the HD completely and then reinstall the OS etc... because yeah, wouldn't want the niece and nephew running across some of that! ;-)
