I'm trying to help a friend get a powerbook going. it is a 867 mgz 15 inch
that we can't get the battery out of. how does the latch work on the
battery.

Use a small coin to twist the latch to point the little dot to the 
open-padlock position, then you can lift the battery out.

This is not that kind of battery latch. it has a bar that is supposed to
slide to one side and let the battery go but it doesnt work right.

IRRC when you have the machine flipped over it slides fully left to be open,
the battery should pop up a little, if not flip the machine back and it
should drop out.

That is all right, but it is not popping out, it's stuck.

Springs probably gone, push it as far as you can and then brute force unless
anyone knows better.

Thanks, we got it. It seems to work right now but I don't know why it didn't
before
