[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1085719"] The iBook G4 line was discontinued in May of 2006 -- four years ago. Yours is likely to be even older than that. From your post, I would say you have DC inverter board issues at least (btw, 3-4 hours is PHENOMENAL for a battery that old). You may also have logic board issues (a known problem). You can try fixing the inverter board if you like, but I think you'd be better off "taking the hint" and getting a newer machine. [/QUOTE]
