My son's Wallstreet, running OSX 10.2.8, cannot "see" its power supply (yoyo) and consequently the battery has run down and the machine will not work. I've tried two, both of which worked previously. Anyone have (and solve) a similar problem?
Wiggle the power connector. See if putting pressure in one direction or another makes it suddenly start working.
I've seen this on three PowerBook G3's recently... Basically, the connector gets hit or bumped, which causes the socket to come loose from the i/o board. It's a PITA to fix, but a soldering iron will do it...
