I doubt the battery would cause the light not to turn on. If anything a bad battery would make it stay green.

The problem is most likely just the battery. Try swapping in a different battery, or taking the battery out and see if the light turns green.

        Yes it does turn green. I think the 800 DVI TiBook's have a
        separate DC board unlike the 500 VGA models. Can that be the
        problem? I really don't need the green light except to make
        everything original:-)


    If the DC board is faulty it won't charge; heck it won't run...I
    wouldn't think the DC board could be so specifically broken as to
    prevent the ring from coming on yet work in all other respects,
    but stranger things have happened.
