From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Mikael=20Bystr=F6m?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: No battery in Powerbook G4 550 Titanium Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2004 16:06:03 +0200
I need some suggestions what to look for in a Powerbook G4 Titanium 550,
which refuses to see, except for the first 5 minutes, and also don't
charge batteries, even if known to be good and fully working in other
Powerbook G4s.
<snip>
This machine also forgets dates if unconnected for any length of time,
indicating the backup battery needs replacement. Could this be connected
to batteries not charging?
I find nothing specific for this charge problem in the "Powerbook G4" repair manual from 2001.
That sounds a lot like a bad pram battery. Have you reset the pram, maybe both ways - keyboard and open firmware - anytime? Tried with a new pram battery? Drop me a line offlist, I think I have one here.
