Recently my Mother's iBook stopped charging it's battery. So, I bought her a new aftermarket power supply. I also installed Apple Battery Reset. So far, no good. Any power outage and ..." it goes out like a light". But that's not why I think God Hates Me. Today, I unplugged the AC cord from my 600 Mhz dual USB iBook just to untangle the cord. And I got the "Running On Reserve Power" message ! I had taken this iBook on the road as recently as last month. I was getting two hours plus on battery with the Airport running. Now I get a 99% charge good for one freaking minute ? So, I am pretty sure God Hates Me. If anyone has an alternate suggestion, you can reach me at church, praying for forgiveness. I just wish I knew what I did wrong.
