George:
This is just a shot in the dark, no pun intended. I understand your
stress. Try two things. First, try resetting the Power Manager (Apple's
directions are as follows:
1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Press the reset button on the rear of the computer. The reset
button is located between the external video and modem (RJ-11) ports.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the Power button to restart the PowerBook computer.
I personally like to unplug the A/C and pull the battery, too,
which is what the iBook requires.
Second: If resetting the Power Manager does not fix it, try zapping the
PRAM (shut the machine off and restart, holding down the
Command-Option-P-R keys).
