[QUOTE="tonyyeb, post: 743447, member: 70159"] Thanks for that. As my iBook does not have a reset button I followed these instructions: 1. If the computer is on, turn it off. 2. Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes. 3. Wait 5 seconds. 4. Press the Power button to restart the iBook computer. Firstly when I did this the iBook just powered up by itself. The second time I tried holding the key combintaion down for 5 secs. The iBook made a beep noise and a light on the front flashed. Then the iBook booted itself. Nothing had changed (I thought the time and date might have reset?) But still system profiler says it is not charging. The battery shows 0% in OS X but all 4 lights show up when the button is pressed on the battery. [/QUOTE]
