Capacitor Reference - PowerBook 100 Series AC Adapter

There were a few different revisions of the PowerBook 100 Series AC Adapters (at least four of them) which all use varying caps. Some of them use ELNA LongLife series caps which ALWAYS leak and MUST be replaced. I'd highly recommend recapping any revision of these supplies as they are all known to be unreliable with original caps.

APS-20U (Apple P/Ns M5140 and M5651)

These supplies use ELNA caps and should be a recap on sight.

APS-46U (Apple P/N M5652)

This is the 3A supply that is required for the PowerBook 165c and 180c. It does not have any ELNA caps inside.
