It would be helpful if you were able to tell the group exactly which Apple laptop you have. There were no Intel PowerBooks, for example. I'm guessing you have either a 15-inch or a 17-inch MacBook Pro with an Intel 2.33 GHz processor. Since there were internal as well as external design differences, it would help to know exactly which MacBook you've got. It sounds as if the Mac shop suspects that the charge circuit for the battery got damaged. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
