Hi all,
Sorry is this is in the wrong place, feel free to move if necessary.
I've got a problem with the brand new battery I bought for my G4 Powerbook (12"). The Powerbook itself is almost four years old, but the battery I bought in January on my last trip to Canada.
I am based in Hanoi, Vietnam and on Valentine's Day my logic board crapped out for good. I took my laptop into the Apple repair people here (yes, it exists but it sucks). They had my comp for ONE MONTH and returned it working fine, other than my battery, which from Jan to Feb 14 worked perfectly, now does not charge.
I downloaded coconutBattery and it tells me there is 0%, no charge and only 7 load cycles!! Yikes!
I've tried resetting the PMU and no luck. I've also cleaned the contacts and still nothing. Anyone have any other advice???
Taking it in for more repairs here in Vietnam is a terrifying prospect!!
