Hey Guys,
Recently, I purchased a PowerBook G3 Lombard on eBay. The price was very reasonable, and the laptop works great: the only problem is that the battery was dead - what I expected for a 12 year old computer.
So I ordered this battery online: Laptop Battery for Apple M7318, M7385G/A, 661-2183. I received it and put it into my laptop. I left the laptop plugged in overnight and turned off so the battery could charge, as the directions included said. However, when I turned on my Mac the next morning, it didn't even detect the battery, saying there were no available batteries. So I took out the battery and put it back in. Still no luck.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Anthony
