ive had my i book g4 for about 5 years, its been ok for a while but lately its been shutting down randomly. i dont run many programs on it or anything processor intensive, just 1 or two windows in safari yet i get random shut downs all the time. sometimes the backlight will shut off but usually its just a total shut down and the only way to turn it back on is to unplug t and take out the battery.

this happens at 100% charge and when plugged in, i dont know whats wrong although i suspect the battery is just old.

or maybe its just the end of my dear computers life...
