| My PowerBook 145B had an accident |

I just pulled out my PowerBook 145B and tested the "known-working" battery. It stayed on for about two seconds. But then something extremely horrifying happened.
The screen went to a weird flickering black, and a LOUD grinding noise started happening! That lasted until I plugged in the AC adapter again, upon which it restarted with *no issue.*
Could it have been the hard drive grinding in indignation?

Sounds like it. I do recommend switching to a SCSI2D if you can, definitely solves that problem permanently 😛
Although it seems odd that it would *work* after such grinding.

Yeah, I know! It booted fine and everything! Even reminded me that I "didn't shut the Macintosh down" correctly.
