Er, if your machine works with other batteries I'd suggest it's a battery problem. The Wallstreet is one of the most troublesome for electrical problems, however it's normally that the battery won't charge rather than won't power the machine once charged. I've never seen this fault with Apple Batteries only 3rd party ones. I have stopped buying 3rd party batteries on eBay after returning 3 of 5 within 2 months of purchase. > I'm trying to remember the routine that involves "reset nvram" in > case that helps - can anyone jog my memory, please?

Shame as I have several for sale soon .... I suggest you handle a Ti then as I think they are quite similar in feel, quite light and flexible in use. But I used a Ti extensively every day for 4 years and had no issues with it, but I'm not a touch typist. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
