[QUOTE="potter4563, post: 1230261, member: 183678"] Hi... Okay, so a few weeks ago, my Mac was saying the date was set to a time before March 24th, 2001. I looked at the date, and it was sometime in 1968. I also noticed that my internet doesn't auto connect at boot up. Some people say that DLink routers have issues with Leopard, and I believed it. Then my CD Drive started acting up. It would try to read discs, but then just spit them back out. Finally, my old charger kicked the bucket, so I bought a new charger. It plugs in and works fine, but the battery status remains on "Not Charging" and when I take it out, the computer immediately shuts down. It's getting quite annoying to have to live with this, and I am thinking about going down to the Mac shop and getting Leopard completely re-installed. My Mac's Specs: Powerbook G4 Aluminum 15" 1 GB Ram 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 Processor 75 GB Hard Drive I don't have the original Leopard CD, nor with any Apple installation software. Can anyone suggest something that will save me from paying money to get this fixed? [/QUOTE]
