iBook Clamshell Mod - Yo-Yo Adapter Modified

The adapter is very crucial for iBook modification because we need to power on the iBook to continue our work, or our work will merely stay in the theoretical level. Today, the adapter is done ! (^^)

This was the original outlook of the Apple adapter.

After we modified it and polished it, it becomes:

 (Actually no change in outlook, but has a change in output voltage from 24V to 14V ^^)

The below photo is showing the original outbook of the bottom of the adapter:

After modification, it becomes:

 (Also no change in outlook :-D)

However it seems unavoidable to have cracks on the shell of the adapter, like the pic below ... as it was crack-opened by us previously. So if anyone of you knows the way to open the Yo-Yo adapter beautifully, please tell us by mail.

iBook Clamshell Mod - Modifying the Yo-Yo

As we need to change some of the contents of the Apple Yo-Yo Adapter to provide right voltage for the new motherboard, we have taken apart the Apple Yo-Yo Adapter. Also, we noted that the power cords are already "too old" and replacement is also needed.

Luckily, we got one brand-new 3.5mm power cord for iBook from ebay. At the same time, the the wall plug cord has also been replaced.

Now, both power cords are being restored to the case of Yo-Yo Adapter.

Opening the Apple Yo-Yo Adapter

Today I opened the Apple Yo-Yo Adapter. I found that the one and only one way to open it is to use force. It is because the "shells" are glued with the adapter tightly without any screw. However, if anyone of you know other methods, please let me know.
