Hi there,
Just a note to the group to say thanks.
I've just been away for a while (a week) and came back to find my inbox
teeming with replys to my powerbook battery problem. Just to let you know...
The emmpathy 2.1 programme combined with the intelligent battery updater did
the trick. There's still errors, and the apple inteligent battery updater
still refuses to recognise the batteries, but they now charge again and give
me a good 3 hours running time.
So thanks to all those who posted answers to the problems with the 540c
battery problems, and thanks also to those who replied direct to me with
copies of emmpathy. And to anyone else out there with the same problem, I
found that I had to use the Apple Intelligent Battery Updater first (even
though it gave an error) before Emmpathy could see the batttery the first
time. After that it was just a matter of time while they charged.
Of course, now I have a different problem. The batteries keep the thing
going - even letting me restart, but they don't let me start without a power
cable. Not the end of the world, but still. I suspect that it may have
something to do with my pram. I am ordering a new pram now, and will install
it and keep you all informed as to my success.
Thanks again for all the help.
JOE
