I need a new power cable for my iBook. I read there is an Apple store at COEX, but where exactly? That mall is so big, I don't know where to start.

Thanks!

I was wondering the same exact thing, I want to buy a new iPod and refurbish my old one. But I couldn't find it either. I know it's there somewhere.

Sorry I can't remember the name of it, but its near the big book store on the ground level. If you enter the mall from the subway, walk straight for a few hundred meters. When that hallway V's, head left and take the next right after the bookstore. It's 20 meters or so up on your left.

I think that's where it is anyways. That mall is pretty big and every time I go there I am always a little confused.

I hope that helps, if not.....good luck!!!

thanks again! i went today and found "a#" near the bookstore.

unfortunately they did not have the power cable (not sure if they were out of stock or what), but he just told me to buy it online from apple.co.kr.

that sucks. can i use a canadian credit card for a korean website?

Kinda OT, but I tried calling the Apple Store all weekend and got a prerecorded message that I didn't understand. 080-3404-622 is the right number, right? Are they not open on weekends?

I bet you can set up an English account and buy from www.gmarket.com as well. Should do a search and see if you can find it. You can buy via paypal (takes a few days) or bank transfer, as well as other options.

thanks for your help! i might do it by phone, or rather, buy it online from Canada since i need the different voltage (i'm going home in 5 months, so i can use an adapter for the rest of my stay in Korea).

The Apple power cord will handle voltages from 110 VAC (US/Canada) to 220 VAC (UK, Korea, etc.). You can use the same cord in Canada and Korea with no problems whatsoever; all you need is the plug adapter so it'll fit the socket. These are dirt cheap.

oh really? that's good to know, thanks for the info!

right now i'm debating whether or not i should shell out yet another 120$ on a power cord (it's my third since 2005), or just buy the new MacBook....

I've had my iBook since mid-2005. Is it time for an upgrade, am I obsolete? Or should I just keep my good 'ol G4?
