<BR>
I just rest the PMU. The batteries dead, so I can't zap the PRAM. <BR>
Good suggestion: I will borrow a working battery to make sure the battery is the problem and not something else.<BR>

Sophia - my experience on new Ti and Al books since 2001 is that the <BR>
battery life is between 1 and 2 years. I am sure that your battery <BR>
(if it is the original) is at least 2y old, as the 667 must be that <BR>
old at least, so my view is that the battery is probably due for <BR>
replacement.<BR>
<BR>
Normally the batteries "fade" - hold their charge for less and less <BR>
time, before dying, but the failure can be quite quick - within a <BR>
week or so, once it starts.<BR>
Did you get any warning signs, or was it sudden failure?<BR>
<BR>
If you can borrow one for a minute from an Apple shop, or a friend, <BR>
and just replace it, that will show for sure if it is the battery <BR>
itself or something else.<BR>

PS: I use my old battery to lift the backend of my 'book off the <BR>
desk, to improve the airflow....<BR>
