Okay, after my last post seeking help with my non-charging PRAM battery, I took my 2400c to a local Mac repair shop. Suffice it to say, I knew I had the wrong place when he told me that there are no powerbooks that will let you switch main batteries while in sleep mode. He said Apple requires you to shut down the machine to switch batteries, or at least plug it into the wall. I then called MCE, who quickly informed me that the I/O board on 2400c computers has a fuse that, when blown, will prevent charging of the PRAM battery and eventually, of the main battery. It's about a $150.00 fix. Since I rarely have need to switch batteries away from the a/c adapter, I probably will just live with this minor inconvenience. Unless, that is, if anyone on the list has a 2400c that they are parting out--I'll take an I/O board! This is the board with the a/c plug. Anyway, I thought this might be of use to someone else on the list. BTW, I now have two PRAM batteries (another story entirely) that I would be willing to unload.
