Hiya Peter, Have you tried taking the battery out and putting it back in? Some times I've found that the battery doesn't want to respond or take charge until I reseat it. Just a thought. Oh, does the battery show a charge... how many lights? Coj Peter Payne <peter2 at jlist.com> I've got a problem with my Powerbook 17 inch 1.5 ghz. After using it in a car with a Kensington car adapter, it suddenly will shut off instantly whenever the power plug is plugged or unplugged -- either one. It shuts off and also loses its settings like clock, and thinks it's 1969. I reset the power manager and pram and it's still doing it. If I set the clock correctly, then reboot (but leave the plug in), it keeps the clock time okay, but any pulling out of the plug causes the machine to lose everything. Is there anything else I can try?! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
