The battery in PowerBook G4 will not charge while in my computer. But, if I put the battery into another PowerBook G4 it charges beautifully! It's not the power adapter since I've used a different adapter while trying to charge at home. Thanks for any help.

Could also be a bad DC-in board...which PowerBook G4 do you have?

well fellow Mac user, I'm experiencing the exact same issue with my own Powerbook G4...and I have another Powerbook as well and multiple batteries. I've done all the usual resets and still this laptop will not begin charging. I'm curious and anxious to see what resolution you'll have. And If stumble upon a repair of my own miraculously somehow I'll definitely let you know...be well.

That's it? No answers for what appears to be a common problem for g4 users? Is anyone actually reading this forum?
