Macintosh Computer (iBook) Parts and Service (local/Taipei)

Taiwan Where Can I Find...?
1

What I am specifically looking for is a shop that deals in Macointosh parts here in Taipei that may have older parts for sale. One of the five dogs that roam my house on a daily basis decided to chew through the power adapter chord for my iBook and now I can’t charge it. I went to the Apple store in Eslite and they tried to sell me a MacBook telling me my iBook is old. I know it’s getting up there, but it still works perfectly and I need the chord replaced. Since they changed the power chord to a newer version for the MacBook I have to find an older one now. The power chord for every iBook is the same ( I also have the original Blueberry iBook back home in Canada) so if I can find any version of it it would work.

The Apple store is trying to order one and said it will be about $3000-$3500 Nt for it if they can get one. I wanted to ask them if they could get a refurbished one from the supplier, but the language barrier was a little too big for me this time.

If anyone knows of a place that may have these in stock (new or used) it would be greatly appreciated as I am now at 63% battery life left and it’s going fast.

YOu might want to try the Apple store on Bade Rd. Section 1 #15, next to TVBS. There is a sales associate there named Jim who speaks excellent English (if that’s a necessity for ya). it’s quite a large store, 3F’s… they might be able to help.

You can give them a call first if you’d like to save yourself the trip down there just incase…

I was digging around in the US apple store website and they do have a section where you can buy older user-replacable replacement parts like batteries, power cords, keyboards, ipod things, etc. Maybe you can order it online with your credit card from the US.

I haven’t been to the apple store on Bade but every other one I go to seems to lately have a bunch of people who don’t know or care about Apples or their devoted users. Just try and ask if they have a refurb program in Taiwan or if you can get your new mac made with upgraded parts here. Rant off…
