Hi all;

I just got a QuickTake 150, I put some (just bought) Everready super
heavy duty batteries in it. After opening and closing the lens cover,
the battery indicator finally showed full charge and I took some test
pics.

I then tried the connection to my mac (powerbook 1400) but when I
opened the lens cover, the lcd was blank. After disconnecting and
trying to check the number of pics in the camera, the battery
indiactor showed empty again.

No I do not have a vot meter etc...

I do have a Powerbook 1400 power brick, can this be used?

It has an output of 24v = 1.87A, output power 45W Max.

I also have a power brick for a scanner, it says its output is +15v =
1.25A

 Or are these tooo high.....?

While the QuickTake 150 manual says

external power 4.5 V DC/1.75 A to 8.0 V DC/1.0 A
and the QuickTake has on the back Rated 7.5v = 2.0A
