I inherited a lombard and since the original battery only last for about an hour I went to my local chain computer store and lo and behold they had an APC replacement lombard battery in fact they had several of them. So i brought it home and smacked it in and it charged up. Cool! then I let it discharge all the way (CD intensive video games work every time) and when it popped up with the "you are on reserve battery power" I plugged it back in and went to bed. When I woke up it was still blinking only 1 light and the battery gauge still read 9%. :-( I remember reading that the batteries in these things charge better when the PB is sleeping vs off so I put it to sleep and went to school. When I came home, still 9%. Well I thought I just had a bad battery so I exchanged it. well the new one is doing the same thing, except this one never charged up all the way, just 50%ish.
Anyone have any ideas? I got 4.5 hours out of the other battery. SOOOO much better than 1 hour TIA -- Robert -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
