When I unhook the AC adapter it goes dead. Before worrying about whether the battery or the AC adapter is completely dead, try resetting the Power Manager in your 165c. According to Apple TIL 14449, try the following: 1. remove the AC adapter and the battery; 2. let the unit sit without power connected for 3-5 minutes; 3. reinstall the battery and, if necessary, reconnect the AC adapter. Note: Steps 1 and 2 will usually reset the Power Manager, however if the computer still exhibits the same issue, redo steps 1 and 2 and then follow the step listed below before reinstalling the battery. 1. using two paper clips, simultaneously press and hold down the reset and interrupt buttons for 5-10 seconds. They are located next to the power button on thhe back panel of the PowerBook. Hope this helps. Tyler -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
