[QUOTE="TeckniX, post: 72351"] For some reason my powerbook G4 isn't recognizing that it's plugged in. So basically I can't charge the battery, or let it run for ever ;) I know the power adapter is good as I tried it on one of my friend's powerbook, but for some reason it's not recognized/not doing anything when plugged in mine. I'm guessing the logic board is gona have to be replaced, since something happend and probably damaged the power function. Any advice? Is there a cap/resistor that burns easily and could be replaced? Basically I'm trying to avoid the cost of a logic board.. but hey.. if it has to be. it will be done. Thanks. -TeckniX ps: on a side not, anyone has a detailed pdf/link on how to take apart the powerbook g4s? So I don't destroy anything in the process :P [/QUOTE]
