<div> </div>
<div>Good news: I got a new Powerboard and it seemed to help my 2400c for a bit. Whenever I put my Comet to sleep, it'd wake up ready to work and the battery fully works and all.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Bad news: After leaving it unplugged for one week, it won't power on anymore. I do PMU reset (holding the button in the back) overnight (not me, I used an object and fixed it against a book) and it still doesn't power up.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ugly: I thought I'd take out the battery and leave the plug in and power on. Instead it sounds like it wants to turn on but it buzzes for a few seconds, then fails to do anything.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What's going on? I think the Backup battery is tanked but shouldn't the Powerbook battery still charge? I think the machine is confused about how to charge and the battery is not charging. Any advice/thoughts?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It doesn't have enough power to even get to GLOD I think :-) Anyhow any advice is appreciated. Thanks!</div>
