Question 4 : My PowerBook G3 Series battery does not seem to charge when the PowerBook is running. It will charge when the PowerBook in sleep mode. What's wrong?
Answer : These things may prevent the battery from charging while the PowerBook is in use: failure of the charging circuit, a bad battery, or an issue with the AC adapter or wall socket.
To help narrow down the possible cause, follow these steps:
Shut down the PowerBook. Connect it to AC power overnight and see if the battery is charged. If so, your PowerBook should be repaired. If it does not charge, try the next step.
Make sure the AC outlet works by plugging another electrical device into the AC outlet and turning on the device.
If the outlet is working, try another PowerBook AC adapter, if available.
