My powerbook duo 230 has been useless since I got it last summer, bad
keyboard, freezing after boot etc. Tried it again yesterday and it
wouldn't boot at all. Bright idea this morning involved taking the
battery out, batteries are long dead anyway. It booted up, no problem,
and hasn't seized up yet.
Would a dead battery actually negatively affect the computer so that it
wouldn't run at all or freeze up after booting? Probably more the power
manager or something but I'm wondering if some of the 'dead' pbs out
there might be resurrected by removing the battery? I'll play around
with this one today but it's never lasted more than a minute without
freezing up. If this is old news, just ignore me, but I haven't seen
this quick fix before.
