Very tough call. There might be something wrong with the DC board or its installation. Did you have the main battery in when you plugged it in the iBook? When you removed it and it turned orange, I guess the main battery was in and the board was charging them, that's what the orange light tells you. What I don't understand is that it stayed green before you removed it, hence my question about whether the main battery was in. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Heuristics are bug ridden by definition.
