| Powerbook G4 sleep/power problems Yesterday I had my powerbook running on the battery and all of a sudden when it should have gone to sleep it died. I pressed the power button several times and nothing happened but then plugged it in and it turned back on. When it did power on I saw a gray screen over the desktop with some kind of a progress bar at the bottom. I found this odd because when this happened the battery was at 39%. Now when I put it to sleep and open it back I get the same thing. Nothing happens when I press the power button but when it's plugged in it powers up just fine. To make things worse I can't unplug my powerbook's power supply without the computer powering down completely. I recently added more RAM but haven't had a problem until now. I've tried resetting the PRAM and PMU but I don't think anything has changed. Someone please help!  |

| Sounds like the battery went. Get another at OWC. The newer version battery will be a lot better then the original.

| Thanks for the tip. I just got a new battery about 6 months though. Would it die that fast? I just downloaded iStat Pro and it says that my battery is running at 88% strength. Could it be something else within the computer? |
