I just love my iBook SE (366 Clamshell).

however, the battery seems to be completly dead.

The iBook was running OS X, so i installed Mac OS 9 to run the Battery Reset application.

Battery Reset appears to be doing something. The power connection glows orange (charging).

The battery does seem to gain charge however...

Starting up in Mac OS X and running coconutBattery gives the following results:

Current Battery Charge: 0 mAh

Maximum Battery Charge: 3200 mAh

Current Battery Capacity: 3200 mAh

Original Battery Capacity: -1 mAh

Is the battery completly dead? Or what is wrong with it? Should i let it charge on os 9; or doesn't that matter?

If it is dead i think i'll buy a new iBook battery, would this be a good buy?
