Battery Reset 2.0 rewrites the battery's 'firmware', using one of two different firmwares. Apple's battery firmwares may ,or may not, be compatible with the Newer battery's firmware. I don't know enough about the Newer battery to know whether of not they used their own firmware or one of (or a variant of) Apple's firmware. Heck, I don't know even much about battery firmwares at all, except that firmware files do exist within the Battery Reset application's code (maybe in the BR init too, I haven't messed with that however.) What I'm trying to say I guess is that, yes, you could have messed up the Newer battery with Battery Reset. I'd suggest in the future, if anyone wants to reset a problem non-Apple battery they use the Power Manager reset for their 'Book, and/or the good ol' OF 'reset-nvram/reset-all' combo. Those should both be pretty safe. dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
