-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You can check the battery charge with the small button on the battery. Does the tip of the powercord (on the iBook's side) light up when you hook it up? You might try that small triangle button on the left side of the iBook (close to the ports) which should reset the logic board. - -filipp Chris Zayachkowski wrote: | Hello, | | I received my iBook G3/500 yesterdays and it powered up for a few brief | times and then all of the sudden powered down.
