I thought I had fried my PMU (power management unit) and my Wallstreet II battery a few weeks ago, but followed advice given on this list to run Battery Reset from Apple. Didn't work. But I tried it twice more, and it still didn't work. Tried it again two days later, when the battery still showed no charge.
Then I noticed the other day that, WOW! The battery was now fully charged! Moral of the story? Have patience. Apparently using Battery Reset, perhaps repeatedly, and then giving things some time - in my case, more than a week - and good results may ensue. > From: Mikael Byström <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "G-Books" <G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com> > Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2005 14:49:41 +0200 > To: "G-Books" <G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com> > Subject: Re: Wallstreet battery probs? > > Laurent Daudelin said: > >> It could also be the PRAM battery, but I think >> that the main batteries have to be in working order for the PRAM battery to >> recharge. > > I have charged batteries with a dead PRAM on the Wallstreet II and also > had a working PRAM hold the data (dates and so on) without a working > battery or even without one.
