IBM Auto/Air DC car adapter

#1 Post by rabbarba » Sun Nov 12, 2006 3:48 pm

Hi.
I wanna buy a IBM Auto/Air DC car adapter cheap.

This is what I'm looking for. http://www.blocket.se/vi/9999295.htm?ca=23_3_s

But it's too expensive for me.
600kr is 83 USD.

I checked ebay.com but I just find universal ones. I don't wanna buy a universal adapter, because one of those crappy things broke my T43's mainboard, so I had to use the warranty. Then I got a new original ac adapter, and the laptop works fine.

So, where do I find one of these IBM Auto/Air DC car adapter cheap?
I just want IBM original. NOT a crappy universal one. Is it possible to get it cheaper than 80USD?

IBM made a "universal AC/DC" adapter, that uses a
cigarette lighter male plug, and puts out 16v w/
the yellow tip: p/n 22P9003. It is bulkier than
the one in yr advert. Here's one on eBay:

the guy ships worldwide.

I just use a generic 12vDC -> 240vAC inverter (manufactured by APC), and plug my standard mains adapters into this. Works with IBM, Compaq, HP, Nokia, and anything else that draws less than about 100w I can think of plugging in - including a string of blue LED Christmas lights which decorate the interior my car during Advent/Christmas!

One box, numerous solutions, with the advantage that you only plug geniune IBM plugs into IBM machines, HP into HP, etc.

With this additional cable IBM adapter can be used not only in the car, but also in an airplane.
