G4 iBook - Mains Adaptor aka Battery Charger

Our 2004 era G4 iBook continues to work well, but the Mains Adaptor aka Battery Charger seems on the way out.
It gets HOT with intermittent power output.

Is there any reliable supplier of a good replacement for Part A1036 45 Watt, connection suited to 8 mm socket on G4 iBook A1055, M9388B/A , Serial No. UV407AKNQE4 ?

There seem to be several suppliers of dodgy items, judging by web comments.
Uk supplier preferred.

Hi there,

Have you tried ScrumpyMacs? I know they sometimes usually have some older kit and may be able to help you out, or if not, then point you in the right direction.

Good luck

If you have no joy with the two suggested shops, then there's an amazon seller doing a PSU for £35.90 + £6.70 delivery. Here's the link.

HTH.

Thanks for the suggestions.
The first two suppliers appear to not have suitable stock, though I will continue to be in contact with them.

The last one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-Laptop-Adapter-Supply-...
has a power rating of 60W, which exceeds the 45W of the original.
I am unsure if that could cause damage, as the max current is 2.7A compared with 1.875A on the original.
Maybe I am being too cautious?

The power supply will only supply what is demanded of it, so a higher rating is better and if built right should actually last longer since it will have been designed (hopefully) to cope with the higher demand.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Finally chose a simple 65W charger which has worked OK for 2 weeks so far.
