A new way to resuscitate a dead battery
I have an iBook 2001 (late, dual usb) that has been giving me problems for the last 3-4 months. It would charge fine, but when it got to about 80% it would drop instantly to 0%. Gave me about 15 mins of time on it. I tried everything including the nvram techniques and nothing worked. I finally decided the battery had just lived its life and was depleted, even though I have rarely even used the battery.
A new way to resuscitate a dead battery
Last night my girl friend's iBook went hairwired. The battery simply would not charge and there was this single L.E.D at the battery that simply would not go away. Furthermore, any prominent characteristic was that the battery indicator in OS X says that it needed 7:30 hours to charge! To cut a long story short, I tried every hint here but to no avail. Then, just for kicks I booted into os 9, just to see what will happen. Instantly, the battery was detected! And it was fully charged. After rebooting in OS X, this effect seems pervasive. So, this might just be the very last resort. |
