hi all
I just replaced my battery few days ago for a brand new from the battery exchange program....the battery is new 100% ..0 charge cicles...
but it is stuck on 16% i can´t charge the battery only discharge, the laptop is working well without the battery (only ac)


i got a screenshot of the problem


it says
charger connected:yes
battery is charging :no
the laptop shows the battery icon "charged" instead of the "charging" icon.... so it thinks it is charged at 16%
also it says my mac is 24453 months old ....it means 2037 years <----- weird ...there was no ibook´s when jesus crist was born...

btw my hardware is

iBook G4 12" 800 mhz
640mb ddr 2100
Mac OS X tiger 10.4.11
30 gb HDD
ati radeon 9200 32mb
wifi Zydas a.b.g

maybe jesus created Apple!

conspiracy

But hmm yeah thats a strange issue :S.... For some reason my acer laptop battery did the same thing so I simply bought a new one and it did the trick.

Can you test that battery in another ibook? (I know could be pretty hard to find someone else with another ibook)

maybe i should start to look for a new dc-in board????

so any ideas????? LOGIC BOARD OR DC IN BOARD??????
wich one should i replace??

Did you calibrate the battery? Let it run until the system dies and then plug it into the wall to charge the battery. Then come back and see if that did the trick.

i did that....and the battery is at 0% and not charching ...... take a look on the battery icon on the screenchot it thinks the battery is charged at 16%
