Description:
Hi-

I am a little concerned. My Pwerbook G3 is a little over a month old- but I noticed over the past two days that the battery does not charge while the mac is on. The lightning bolt does not appear over the battery. I have used this thing moderately over the past month but not so much that I could have expired the battery. I found I could charge with the powerbook off. But that's not supposed to be the only way. Did I disable this function? Can it go back to normal?
Any suggestions?
