Just got in a G4 15" 1.5ghz Powerbook the owner said just quit turning on. It boots up just fine for me (65w aftermarket power brick).
The unit looks pretty much new, no dings at all. The problem I have is the battery does not charge, first low level warning No, and shows 0 cycle count (think its the original battery). Also the optical drive doesn't show up under disk burning and it spits out all the CDs I try to insert. Any idea? I did the PMU reset (removed the battery, power cord, held the start button in for 15 seconds) and that didn't help with the battery.
