To reduce confusion, it's better to refer to PowerBooks by their official 
designation. Yours would be the PowerBook G4 (Gigabit); other than the 
addition of a combo drive, your Powerbook is exactly identical to the 
PowerBook G4 (Gigabit) that preceded it.

The only reason i mention this is that there are several schemes for 
naming these PowerBooks, a couple of which are contradictory (some call 
yours a Rev 3, whereas others state the Rev 3 is the current generation 
PowerBook G4 (DVI)). In your case, the addition of the Combo Drive adds no 
pertinent information as to your issue, so calling it a PB G4 (Gigabit) 
names your powerbook precisely. Calling your powerbook by it's proper name 
will also make it easier to search Apple's KBase and Discussion Boards and 
get meaningful results.

Apple covered mine, but I haven't looked into whether this is common or 
not. They got mine back to me in a hair more than 48 hours.

define "on the fritz"? completely dead? sparking? intermittently charging?
