Hi there,
My recently acquired aluminum PBG4 won't charge. It works OK on mains and the 65W PSU is detected, active, but not charging. the ring on the PSU connector stays orange.
First I thought that the battery was dead, but I bought two more batteries, one used but supposedly working and one new. Neither worked.
I tried resetting the PMU (via the unplug procedure), no luck.
What can I do to find the culprit?
BR

Could be that you ended up with 2 bad batteries. No way of knowing without another unit to test in. Do the lights on the bottom of any of the packs light up? | Posted by: SergioDeNice on 2023-02-16 11:49:10
Nope 🙁
But they could be depleted and not out of order. | Posted by: 3lectr1cPPC on 2023-02-16 11:52:22
Yeah... hard to know. On some of the PowerBooks, the battery charge board is a separate part, no idea about the aluminum ones, never had to take mine apart. | | 1 |
