Re: TiBook power adapter problem (update)
From: Bruce Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] No. The power manager's a separate bit of electronics: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449 But the point's moot since you seem to have got it working. If reset- all did it, it was confused sleep settings in NVRAM. No, I did reset-all and reset-nvram when I first received the TiBook about a month ago. I'd done nothing with it... ?!

Re: TiBook power adapter problem (update)
From: Bruce Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] If it's only when it goes to sleep, it's a software issue; possibly a firmware one, if they released a firmware update for the TiBook.

Re: TiBook power adapter problem (update)

What a dork, I've been updating Pismos left, right and centre, but it never crossed my mind. Doh! There is a 4.1.8 update which should be for the 400MHz, and as I bought the computer from a warehouse clearance my money is on a non-updated TiBook. --- Remotely it could be a power manager board issue.

Could be, and I even have one from a broken TiBook. :o) Larry _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Re: TiBook power adapter problem (update)
I only seem to be getting replies relating to the hardware, specifically crappy cables, but that does not explain why it only stops charging when the PowerBook is asleep. When it's running or off, it charges quite happily. I have read on the net about this only being an OS X issue and not OS 9, though this PowerBook doesn't have OS 9 installed (might do it just to see though). So, anyone have any thoughts on this not being a broken cable type problem ? Larry _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
