Hi folks.
My school-computer (iBook 14" 1,42 Ghz G4, running OSX 10.4.10) has developed some unpleasant habbits lately.
With lots of batterycharge left, 28-50%, it shuts down without warning. I try to restart it, and it gets to various stages of booting before shutting down again. It won't run untill i plug in the powercable, and then it starts of from almost half full charge.
I did a bit of searching on the forums, and installed coconutbattery with the attached (depressing) result.
Tried resetting the pmu, which didn't stop it from shutting down on me again 46 mins later.
Does this mean I need to replace the battery?
Any help appreciated...
