I had something wierd happen to me this morning. My computer and battery
all worked this morning. And then I put my 2400 into sleep mode, and
walked to class. When I took the computer out of my bag, the sleep light
was glowing solid green, and no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to
shut off. I pulled out the battery, and it still did nothing different.
Finally, I read my trouble shooting guide and found out that I needed to
plug in the power adapter, and do a hard reset. I did that and it
started up, but it doesn't recognize the battery at all.

Does anyone know if I could have done something between when I put the
powerbook to sleep and sometime while I was carrying it to class that
the battery would just die? It's been fine the entire time I've had the
2400; it showed no signs of holding less of a charge, plus it was fully
charged when I put it into sleep mode.

Does anyone know of a way to test the battery, or something I can do to
get it tested?
Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix the battery or get the 2400 to
recognize the battery?

I already zapped the PRAM. My system is a 2400c/180, 80mb RAM, 4.7gig
HD, running MacOS 9.

Any help is very much appreciated,

Mike
