Hey,
New to the forum and am having some trouble with my wife's powerbook (g4, 667mhz)
She has always used it with the power adapter connected so we never noticed that when it is unplugged, the laptop will run for a short while and then shut off.
Thought it was the battery and purchased a replacement higher rated battery. No change.
I just replaced the pmu board...no change.
She was at the apple store yesterday and described the problem. They said "oh yes, we can fix it. It will be 3 hundred and change".
The battery seems to charge well (all five lights will eventually light green).
Any suggestions? (I'm really pissed becaused she just mentioned the problem and the 3 yr apple care coverage expired a few months ago...argh!!!)
Thanks
steven
