Pismo Battery Won't Charge

[Charles Estabrooks]

The yoyo adapter on my Pismo recently broke at the connector to the 
book.  Toward the end I had to wiggle the skinny wire to make contact, 
but instead of the standard icon with the lightening bolt which 
indicates battery charging, OS X shows a battery icon with an 
electrical plug, and the battery never seemed to take a charge. It 
remains always at 0%. I bought a replacement on the Swap list (one of 
the black kind), with no change.  I zapped the PRAM, pressed the reset 
button on the back, and even went through the Open Firmware reset 
procedure, but I get no battery charging.  I even booted into OS9 to 
see if it was an OS thing, but no difference.  Is it possible I burned 
something out using the bad adapter, or is there a way to reset this 
battery charging thing?

Thanks,
Charles
