Re: Emma's problem...

[Gary D. Adams]

My Pismo had the same problem during a power outage. I was always 
showing 4 lights and then the power went out and the battery was dead. A 
good question to consider is how old is the battery? Three years is 
about max life on those according to Apple. In any case, I bought a new 
BTI battery.

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.
Download and install the PowerBook Battery Reset version 2.0 from Apple 
Software Downloads.
