Mine was defective -- light came on, but it did not charge. I took it to a local computer store to make sure it wasn't my computer that was the problem, and their chargers worked. I sent it back and received a prompt refund. I guess you get what you pay for sometimes...

I suppose I should have figured from the price but nowhere did this hint that it was a knock-off. At first I thought it was no big deal - as long as it charged my laptop I wasn't too fussed about the brand (though I was annoyed that wasn't made plain) - but after only 4 months it started falling apart. The outer metal ring of the part that goes into the computer kept separating and wouldn't charge when it didn't meet. I used a pair of pliers to gently squeeze it back together several times but it would separate again within a few days. After about a month of that I tried to squeeze it back together again, like usual, and a bit of the metal was apparently very brittle and chipped off and it has not worked since. I think it may have even damaged my laptop. I never write extremely bad reviews because I always assume they are just cases of sour grapes but I was just so disgusted by the shoddy quality of this charger - it may be cheaper than the genuine product but it wasn't that cheap and it only lasted 5 months. It's worth the extra bucks to get a good one. (the cord is also significantly shorter than the apple one)

This unit did not work for two Powerbook G4s, and I ended up having to purchase the $40 Apple one. If your time is worth anything to you (and you own a PB G4) don't get this. IMO, they should remove the "Powerbook" from this heading completely since only iBook reviewers seem to have somewhat better luck.
