hi there, i could use some help, if anyone has any brilliant ideas... my 17" (1.67) powerbook isn't charging battery properly, it seems to keep start and stop charging, as the info at upper right switches from "not charging battery" to "calculating time to full charge"... i've only had this cpu a few months, and was using old battery that only lasted 20 minutes, so mostly was using adapter, but the battery would charge ok when i depleted it. then last week i got a new 3rd party battery, did the 'condition' thing: full charge, full drain, repeat 4-5 times, but then yesterday the screen started going very very dark suddenly and battery did not seem to go past 8% (this is from what i could tell when i restarted and screen stays bright for a few minutes.). hooked it up to external screen which works for a minute or so, then that screen goes black as well. so now using old battery which has some charge but it's draining, as it tries to chrage then stops, etc... any ideas? much appreciated! ~demetrius
