Stone age hardware request.

Anyone have a power supply for an old Powerbook 400 MHz lying around?
One of these.

I finally got around to stripping down the old laptop I brought over, which stopped working just after I got here, and the power switch checks out as fine, so I belatedly decided to test the power supply ....

Annoyingly, I think I have a spare in storage in Melbourne....

Yoyo failure is notoriously frequent. It's usually the wires fraying inside the insulation, usually near the junction with the yoyo. If you can dismantle it, you'll probably be able to find the fault and repair it. The other main point of failure is where the cable meets the jack.
