This may seem silly, but make sure it's really really firmly in there. I bought a new adapter and cables for my 520c before I just made sure to really shove it in there the last millimeter. Works like a charm now :) >About battery packs- why is it that there are't instructions on the web for >refurbishing all powerbooks packs?

Or build an external pack, although >getting the connector for some would be harder than others.... I've rebuilt a Duo battery, and will probaby be doing the aforementioned 520c's battery. As long as you know the type and voltage, it's pretty easy to get the cells. Then, just have to solder them in the same arrangement as the others :) >There must be a reason...
