Sorry, I know nothing about the Sonnet upgrades and have limited knowledge of Powerbooks, but does this sound ubsurd to anyone else? Do you really mean hours??? How are you keeping the Power Button in a depressed position for that long of a period of time?!?!?!?! Don't you mean the Reset button and not the Power button???? As far as I know, to reset the Power Manager, - well, zapping the PRAM is supposed to reset the Power Manager too, but to really reset the power manager, I thought you just needed to unplug from AC Power, remove the battery, and hold the Reset Button down for a minute. If that doesn't do it, leaving the unit unplugged with the battery out and then also removing the PRAM battery from the computer for 3 - 5 minutes should also do the same deal.... Am I right? Maybe I'm wrong, but all that 10 hour and 24 hour stuff seems a little on the ridiculous side IMO Cheers, Sionnach __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
