HELP!! My Powerbook WON'T CHARGE my Battery!

HELP!! My Powerbook WON'T CHARGE my Battery!


Hello,
I have a 1GHZ Aluminum 15" Powerbook.

The Powerbook will no longer charge my battery. I bought a new battery,
so I know it is the powerbook and not the batteries.

It will run fine off of the power plug, it will even run fine off of the
battery, it just won't RE-charge the battery.

What can I do to charge my powerbook batteries?


I called Apple and they say no one makes an external battery charger.


Any advice or help will be appreciated!!!


Thanks!

I just got asked abou new battery for mine at
TEKSERVE and was told that it is best to also change the PRAM internal
battery at the same time. For some reason if you don't the new battery
might not charge and might be damaged. The battery is about $10 and they
install it at no charge.

I'm surprised that the person you spoke with from Apple didn't suggest
resetting the power management unit.
