As we are talking WallStreets here, don't forget the Apple Battery Reset application (sorry, don't have the link handy). This application has revived my WallStreet battery several times, when I might otherwise have assumed the battery was dead (no longer holding any charge). I know that a few times I have run out of battery power completely and probably the PRAM/backup battery has run out as well. The main battery refuses to recharge until it is reset by Battery Reset. Maybe a sign of a faulty power manager board (also quite common, it seems). Worth a shot... Mike -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
