Mac Portable

As I've said before, I think that getting the battery to work correctly will solve your sad mac problems. I was able to temporarily recharge the battery by taking an old power cable, plugging it in, and touching the cables to the battery terminals. It blew the surge protector a couple of times, but eventually, I was able to power up the mac. However, this will eventually wear off and the mac will cease to work again. When this happened to me, I decided to rebuild the battery, so I took it apart and left it on my shelf for a few months while the mac ran off two AC adapters. Then I decided I won't rebuild the battery after all because it would cost $30 to buy the cells, so I put it back together and reinserted it into the mac. The two AC adapters were still plugged in. After several weeks of sitting on this intensive overvoltaged charge cycle (during which the machine still worked), the battery is as reliable as it should be. I haven't tested it in fear that it might not recharge too well again, but the portable runs for 15 minutes at least w/o wall adapters. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
