- G3 ibook 700mhz 384mb
Hey people (anyone)
I recently bought my first Apple, (had an imac a few years ago but it died after 2 weeks and my IT course kinda dictated that I bought a new PC) it's an ibook 700mhz, with 384ram, airport etc etc. The battery seems to hold about 2 1/2 hrs charge which I reckon isnt too bad really for a book of this age.
I have followed a few of the steps / tutorials on how to calibrate the battery but none seem to work in the sense that after each charge the indicator tells me that i'll get around 5hrs from the battery and then after about 2.5hrs and when the indicator reaches around 37% operating time left the battery dies.
As I said I have followed several steps detailed within the forums and on the Apple site but none seem to sort this problem. I know it isnt a major issue but it is one I would like fixed if possible.
Any suggestions?
I'd thoroughly appreciate it, even if they are just that I have to live with it.
Thanks in advance
peace the noo
