[iBook] (no subject)

Depends what you mean by "bad" battery.

If it's the original battery that came with the laptop then it is  
past its usable lifespan.
A new, better (longer lasting) one can be had through online  
retailers like <http://otherworldcomputing.com/>
specifically here: <http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/powerbook/batteries/>

If it's a newer battery, and it powers up but the screen is black  
than yes, it could be motherboard problems.
