Hello,
I have a FireWire G3 PowerBook that has quite an interesting problem
with the battery. The battery runs normally for about 2/3 of the way,
but then when it reaches ~33%, *bang* it's at 0%. (I also get only
about 25 minutes of run time from this battery -_-) Does anybody know
why this is happening? (I have AppleCare for the thing, but the loss
of my laptop for ~1-2 weeks ... *sob* .. i wonder if it's something
I can fix) The battery is a Li-Ion Apple Standard Battery (bet you
thought is was a NiMH battery ^_^). It might have something to do
with the fact that my brother dropped the 'book a while back.
Is there a fix for this ? (Or should I just slap my brother and send
it in to Apple...)
Oh, BTW, Linux *rocks* on this thing. I find myself preferring it
over MacOS in most cases (better DivX performance, DVD playing works
(in a Mac laptop =O), POSIX compliance, etc... (it's also a custom
build system, so it starts up in 20 seconds ... I wait for the
operating system that starts that fast to be this usable))
Ideas?
