Hey all, I recently purchased a PowerBook WallStreet 300Mhz. notebook and have had problems charging the battery. Everything is in A+ condition so I know it hasn't been abused.
It works fine on the Battery and will last 2hrs 15mins or so and will charge fine when it's turned off or asleep. However, if I try to use the PowerBook and charge it at the same time it takes 6+ hours to charge. WAY more than it does when it's off or asleep. I read somewhere that it has to do with the PMU and to try Apple's Battery Reset. Well, I tried it and it did nothing for it. The AC Adapter was exchanged for the newer Yo-Yo style when it became available. Any idea what is wrong with it? And if something needs replacing, could someone suggest a place to have it done? Possibly do it myself? AppleCare ran out in Dec. 2001 so I'm SOL with having Apple do it. I would only feel comfortable with Apple fixing it but their prices for out of warranty work are outrageous!!! Thanks in advance! Chris -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
