Clark, how does one reset the PMU intentionally? *******************
Clark Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> then responded: The heat of the iBook wouldn't have cooked anything in the WS. But on several occasions I've found a WS to not have gone to sleep when the lid is closed. So far it has simply caused a crash and no known damage. If it's keeping the battery charged then I wouldn't worry about it. It's possible the PMU wasn't damaged but just needed a reset which may have happened inadvertently. ******************* At 5:13 PM -0500 12/29/05, Stanton Mitrany originally asked: I'm very curious about this, and wonder if you've experienced anything similar. After I left my WS II asleep with the lid down, with an iBook 500 dual USB awake, sitting directly on top of it for about 24 hours, it appeared that I had inadvertently cooked and killed the charging unit/inverter. Apparently, quite a bit of overheating was forced on the sleeping Wallstreet which was sandwiched between the wooden desk below and the hot iBook above. Since then, about eight months ago, I've been swapping my battery in and out of another, minimally functional WS II, simply to recharge it before replacing it in my working machine. I needed to recharge the battery on the other machine about once a week. That is, until about a month or so ago. It's now probably been four or five weeks since the last swap-out, and the battery in my main machine still appears to be fully charged! Can you explain this to me? Should I still try to replace the charging unit with the one from the other machine? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
