Wanted: charger for the original macbook
i’ve acquired 3 of the original white macbooks, no idea if they work, and dont have any chargers.
anyone got the magsafe charger for them?
dont want to spend much, the macbooks are pretty much worthless, but it would be nice to get them working.
cheers.

If you have a dead Apple mains adapter, it ought to be possible to dismantle the transformer block, disconnect the charging cable inside and reconnect it to a new smoothed and regulated charger.
Another alternative is to power the 2006 MacBook from a pre-owned Apple Cinema external monitor.
Then yes, I do. If not, obviously, not. But good luck anyway!
@marauder try the obvious things like resetting the NRAM and SMC ..... if no joy remove SODIMM's and wait to hear beep code .... if no beep code heard then that's about as far as you can go, if you get bleeps try one SODIMM at a time in one slot at a time ... very common for one slot to go bad
If machine boots (activity and working caps lock light) but no video then a common cause was LCD cable failure as it passes through the hinge
As old as these machines are they are still useful for certain things. I expect you could make one good one out of the 3, maybe 2 even
one of the batteries charges, one of the machines didnt have any ram, but i still had some from years ago. No hard drives, but i had a spare. Tested with that and all of them fire up.
lots of testing required to make sure everything works.
thanks. @Grangousier
