Mine does the same. I'm assuming that the circuit board that manages the battery isn't managing and was looking to replace it at some point.

Just got a new battery for my Lombard. When I push the button on the battery it shows three lights so I assume it is charged. However it will not boot the Lombard. When I plug i…

almeath, Even though we now know that you have a Gigabit Ethernet G4 that probably can't run 8.6, it would be nice if you would make the Sawtooth 8.6 system files available for th…

As an aside, now that we know that almeath's G4 is really a Gigabit Ethernet model and not a Sawtooth, all of my speculation above about the effect of boot rom v3.3.x on a Sawtooth…

I agree with LCGuy that what you have is a Gigabit Ethernet model (and not some weird hybrid). I think that MacTracker is wrong about M5183 being the model number for the original…

I still get annoyed that greeks invented the steam engine thousands of years ago and just used it for a toy, if they had figured out a way to make a motor out of it the industrial …

On a side note, even the single CPU heatsink clips had DUAL on them.

I could be wrong, but gunpowder was invented at a time China was unified and not fighting wars with their neighbors. Europe was busy fighting endless wars so they were busy looking…

Kind of odd some western people are going to design a product, make it in china, and sell it in china that the chinese never thaught of needing themselves. Click to expand... T…

Then I assume a mainboard swap took place. All this time I was going on the model # listed on the case.

I'd say you have a Gigabit Ethernet G4/400. And they're not exactly rare - it was the low cost, "no frills" version of the Gigabit G4, for people who couldn't afford/didn't need d…

I'm currently trying to resolve the question of whether I actually have a gigabit ethernet G4, rather than an original sawtooth. Here is what I have found: (1) The label on the b…

*Ahem* Those people that you say have no pots to piss in are not the target market. Have fun with your straw man, though. By the way, the US also has a large amount of people who …

From somebody who visited one large city in a country you seem to know everything about it Bunsen. Both India and China have a huge percentage of people without a pot to piss in, j…

I have a PowerBook 1400, and sometimes, when I plug it in to AC power, it doesn't recognise that I have done so! It gets a draw from the adapter only about 75% of the time, and the…

Well, I am in Canada and have done this with an eMate battery pack. You would be best getting some tabbed NiMh AA cells, and following the excellent instructions online at http://w…

I'm searching for someone in Canada that can help rebuilt battery for those 2 models of Newton. Anyone?

You know, I'm thinking of how much less waste there would be if we simply upgraded wisely. Swapping mainboards and hard drives instead of replacing the entire enclosure. It would…

Well, the video in question suggests that about 20% of the equipment that the receive doesn't work, and that they try to fix it. If they cannot fix it, then it ends up as landfill…
