My 5300 started acting "PowerManager funny".
The startup button won't start my 5300c Powerbook from a fully charged battery (I just get a static type noise). The startup button does work when the charger is plugged in. The machine will also startup from just the battery by using the reset button. It also charges the battery fine. Tried a second charged battery, no better. Tried the PowerManagerReset Utility but it didn't fix the problem. Any ideas on what to try next? Is the Power Manager still corrupted but the utility can't reset it?
Sounds like it.
Pull the batteries, unplug the computer, press the power switch a couple of times, then re-install the batteries. That should kick it back up.
It *could* be a bad pram battery, too.
