[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 329922"] Welcome to Mac-Forums,kleppaj. Sorry to hear about your iBook troubles. Can you locate the Hardware Test that came with your iBook? It could be a CD that is identified as such or it could also be on one of the OS install CDs (usually the install disk 1, if I'm not mistaken). Insert the CD and restart, holding down the [I]C[/I] key. Once you get the prompt to start the test, ask for it to be run in [I]Extended[/I] mode. Once the results are in, post them here. Please note that whatever the source of the problem is, maybe the test will not detect it if the problem is intermittent, though. But we have to start somewhere so that is my suggestion. You might also want to look up the battery exchange programs Apple has for iBooks and PowerBooks but I do not know if the symptoms of a bad battery include kernel panics, though.

Oh and you might want to look into [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449"][B]Resetting PowerBook and iBook Power Management Unit (PMU)[/B][/URL] as well. [/QUOTE]
