I'd been given a Pismo (yes, givem, the last of the truly gorgeous
laptops Apple ever made) but it wasn't going ... it *had* been
functioning, but was then stored (with a full charge) in the bottom
of a filing cabinet for two months before I got my lucky li' mitts on
this G3/500/768MB/20GB beauty with the unmarred case. Sent it off to
get fixed.
The case issue aside (a long story), the battery which was 14 months
old, had been swapped on me by the body repair centre.
It is being recognised, as in under 9.1 the battery appears in the
menubar, but it reads 0 % and there's no lightning bolt. Press the
li'l button on the side of the battery, and the firsyt green LED
blinks a few times.
Is this battery totally scrubbed, or has someone figured out a way to
rejuve these dears?
(btw: I'm now -- Hi!! *waves*)
