Well... my PB 180 has a new owner. It worked fine for me, even had a decent (to me on this, that's 1+ hour, never ran it down) battery life, etc.
New owner's had it for - I guess 2-2 1/2 weeks... says it doesn't run on the battery and won't charge (it did before) and it runs for 5-10 min. on the AC adaptor, then just flicks off. Mac dealer she went to in Portland said "Nothing we can do, motherboard issue." Like I said, the battery life was great, it ran on it fine, and worked plugged in to the AC adaptor as long as I wanted (even just doing the use - sleep - use thing for a few days straight.) Worked with the monitor adaptor and monitor and a keyboard/mouse as a pseudo-desktop, too. The person's driving up and down the coast - could this have been brought on by water or just being jostled at some time? Anything that can be done to rectify this? It worked fine when I used it, showed it to her, etc, and doesn't now... which is annoying to both of us. Ideas welcome... thanks, Eric -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
