Did you have the main battery in when you plugged it in the iBook?
PSU -> DC board outside iBook (ORANGE)
PSU -> iBook - No battery (GREEN)
PSU -> iBook - Battery (ORANGE) will see if it turns green...
Not sure if it charges the battery as I am reluctant to run down
the battery to see.
I bought it like this knowing it was like this.

Very tough call. There might be something wrong with the DC board or its
installation. Did you have the main battery in when you plugged it in the
iBook? When you removed it and it turned orange, I guess the main battery
was in and the board was charging them, that's what the orange light tells
you. What I don't understand is that it stayed green before you removed it,
hence my question about whether the main battery was in.

iBook - Live to tell the story...

[Larry le Mac]

I have just dismantled my new (to me) iBook 500MHz rev2
and put it all back together again...
...and not a single screw left over!!!
HOWEVER, it still doesn't work.  :o(
I bought it knowing that it doesn't work of the mains,
only off the battery.
When I plug in the power adapter the iBook dies, and if
I try to start up from the mains only (no battery fitted),
it makes some faint noises, but nothing else...
The LED on the adapter plug goes to green when plugged
into the iBook. It was orange when I had it plugged in to
the removed DC board.
Any suggestions ?
