I want to look around for a back-up power supply. While the one that came with my clamshell iBook works, there's a break inside the power cable near the plug. None of the plastic around the plug is broken. I think this is simply due to age and use. Sometimes, you can see the flash of electricity inside the wire-and again, the wire is NOT cracked/broken on the outside. It's all internal.

Is there one anybody can recommend?

Most of the PowerBooks of that generation use the same connector on a 45W supply. I use a Wally G3 power supply with my blueberryBook, but a later snow iBook or iBook G4 supply should also work. For that matter, I use a 45W supply with the same connector for my 1400.
