Do a search on yahoo with this +"powerbook 160" +"reset power manager" Copy all of that, quotes and plusses, then paste into Yahoo. The usual way to do a power manager reset is to unplug the AC adapter from the powerbook and remove the battery. Hold the reset button for 30 seconds. Plug in the AC adapter and boot up the powerbook, then insert the battery after the System is fully booted. If the battery is good, then it should work and charge normally. Some Powerbooks have some differences in the procedure! Apple has some battery control extentions for various Powerbooks that do things like keep the thing from going to sleep when you want to fully discharge a battery, and to add compatability with newer battery types that'll physically fit older models but won't work properly without the extention. (One of these is the Duo series with three battery types that were made backwards compatable using a special extention on the older models.) ===== It will be total Fandemonium!
