[QUOTE="yamaha, post: 1352641, member: 228344"] I just recentley fixed my old Powerbook and have been using it. And yesterday the charing stoped working. I picked up the computer by the screen and I heard kind of a click. The charger still works on another powerbook so it is not the charger. I put a broken charger in the port and wiggled and twisted it around and it lit up green but did not charge it (that is why ir is broken) then I plugged my charger in and it worked again. Then as I closed the computer it stopped working and now when I open it it does not work. Then I again tryed the charger on another powerbook and it worked fine. So my qustion is could there be a short from picking it up by the screen or something wrong inside the port? What could cause this? If needed I can take apart the computer because I installed a new hard drive and it was easy for me. Edit: The click may have just been a normal noise because I still hear it when I push the screen all the way back. I just realy need to know whats wrong because I need to use my computer! [/QUOTE]
