I got a used 667 Titanium PB off ebay a few months ago, and it's been a long and difficult road to getting a working battery. The seller finally sent me a battery that holds a charge (at least I think it does, it lights up 4 dots on the bottom of it when I press the button). The problem is that it doesn't seem like the powerbook itself is recognizing the battery properly. Right now it's showing 94% charge, but the light is green, not orange. Before it would charge, or be orange, until it hit 99%, and that is the highest it would go. When I unplug the powercord the powerbook will run for 5 minutes or so, then shut down. I plug it back in and it shows the battery at 2 or 3% and it'll hang there for awhile, then jump to to 98% or so. This happens over and over again. So it seems like the battery is charged, but the powerbook itself won't recognize it properly and is confused. I've reset the pram and taken the battery out for 2 days solid just to make sure the battery in the pram is ok (apparently if it's weak it'll die in a few hours without the main battery in?).
Does anyone know what is wrong? Please help me... I'd like to be able to unplug my powerbook for more than 5 minutes at a time.
Thanks
