Hey, good for you, Geoffrey!

The battery might be dead but you might be able to revive it. You can search
in the G-Books archive as this subject comes out regularly.

BTW, that's the first time I see a quote from Brains of the 'Thunderbirds'!
"Thunderbirds are go!"

Pismo battery woes?

[Geoffrey Peters]

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?
