Re: Pismo Battery Trick
Has anyone else tried resetting their Pismo batteries in a Lombard? I'd like to know if this is working for others before I borrow my friend's Lombard.

Re: Pismo Battery Trick
From: Laurent Daudelin [EMAIL PROTECTED] What is this Battery Reset 2.0 ? It's a little utility made by Apple. It supposedly reset the NVRAM on batteries. However, it checks for the model of PowerBook you're running and will report that you can't run it on a Pismo and will just quit. That's why some people that have access to a Lombard have reported being able to reset their Pismo battery in a Lombard using that utility. Is there any documentation from Apple regarding why it doesn't run on a Pismo ? I am very interested as I have a Pismo 500 with two batteries (I bought both the Mac and the batteries second hand). What's the difference between resetting the NVRAM and performing an Apple recommended recalibration (decharging and recharging the battery fully) ? Laurence _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Re: Pismo Battery Trick
Nolen Scaife [EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: Does anyone think using some sort of trickery (think Wish I were...) could make Battery Reset work *on* a Pismo? As I have PBs both Lombard and Pismo I tried a number of such tricks and was unable to determine how Battery Reset knows on which hardware it's running. I used GestLab to spoof various gestalt selectors, and also to compare PBs Lombard and Pismo to see the differences. I also used MacsBug to try determine and then trap the calls which allowed BR to run (or not) but as I'm no programmer I had no luck. Poking around inside BR with Resorcerer revealed lots o' interesting stuff, but . . . did I mention I'm not a programmer? If any programming expert would look at my working files related to this I'd be happy to post them somewhere for DL. I'd love to see BR cracked so it could be used on a Pismo, but sadly I'm not the guy to do it.
