I've got an old iBook G3 clamshell (tangerine, just for the record) that suddenly stopped charging some time ago and won't run off battery power anymore. I've tried replacing the pmu and the logic board, and still nothing works. The battery would run for hours until one day when the thing just died. It still runs fine on AC, but the PRAM battery seems to be dead. The pmu and the logic board were both eBay buys. While the pmu looked OK, the logic board might have been a little beat up (the trackpad cable had been violently severed). While this is no longer my main computer (I'm writing this from my favorite laptop—a Pismo 500 with 512 MB and 120 GB, DVD-ROM, Wireless- B, and 10.4.11), I'd still like to bring this clamshell back to working condition. Does anybody know something I don't know?
