iBook G4? I doubt you still have the warranty. Most probably the battery has died given the laptop model you stated. You can always buy a new battery, costing about RM500 maybe? Wasn't very sure. Check with VR Tech lah.

How long you've been using it since replaced? As I aware most replaced cells doesn't last over 6months. It start to degrade drastically over 3months of usage. Within a year it fall over less than an hour. Might be the supplier I heard are using cheap cells. So do share your experience. For the thread starter, try to loan a working iBook battery and test. If you get the same result, most likely you have blown fuse in the motherboard. This post has been edited by wei: Feb 20 2008, 02:41 PM
