Power Supply - Gorzzz - 2026-03-07

Hi Guys,

Looks like my p/s for my system blue is starting to die as it's only putting out 4v. I was going to get another powerstream one (https://www.powerstream.com/AC-1898.htm), but I'm not going to pay $70US (!) for postage to Australia.
So, can any Aussies on here point me to some alternatives??

Thanks,

John (Gorzzz)

Hi John,  I've been using an Apple 12W USB Power Adaptor for years on my System Blue and have had absolutely no problem and they're very cheap to buy :-)

those little bricks are indeed good but beware not to get a cheap knockoff .. those are 'terrible'
