My Powerbook is finally back up and running again after around 24 hours stressing. It all started when my battery went dead so I picked up my adaptor and plugged it in, only for it to spark.
I put the other end into the laptop but no disco and the stressing began. To cut a long story short – a trip to the shop, four 13 amp fuses, two knives used as screwdrivers, three 3 amp fuses from lamps and a DVD player, a partridge and a pear tree later – I discovered my adaptor was dead.
So apart from 24 hours with a battery dead laptop I have to shell out €79.99 on a new adaptor! As much as I love my Mac this never happened to my Toshiba, hopefully this won’t turn into an expensive affair.

I think you’ll find it was the socket you plugged it into (electrical surge) as opposed to a faulty adapter!
At least you had a live elec tech support to call!
