Buddy works at a recycling center and found a MacBook from 2009. Apparently it needs to be charged with a MagSafe thingy. Are there alternatives to that since he doesn't have this MagSafe thingy? Ordering a $80 one from Apple seems a bit excessive for an ancient MacBook that might or might not work.

@trinsec If you can identify his laptop model, the corresponding adapters can be found for under $25 new on eBay.
@Infoseepage Yeah, that's the conclusion we're getting to as well. The model is A1342, and we seem to have found adapters as cheap as 24,95 euro. That might be doable for fiddling around.
@trinsec you could probably find one for cheap on eBay or some other second hand web store place. Or perhaps, if you have one near you, look for a local tech store, they might have one.
@sweaterphant Yeah, we found a site selling it for 24,95 euro which might be as good as any.
It works!
