- Without warning, the battery on my PowerBook 170 has gone completely dead.
- The PowerBook works fine while plugged in, but won't even turn on using the
- battery. I've tried for many hours to recharge it, but it's still dead.
- (What's strange is that just before it died, I had managed to coax over three
- hours of use out of it.)
-
- Is a PowerBook battery covered under a warranty? (The battery is the
- original
- that came with the PB...I've had both for about 6 months now.) I don't think
- I can call the 800 service number since I'm in Canada.
-
- Any advice or suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else? I guess I
- should
- head over to the nearest computer store (that sells PowerBooks) and try out
- a different battery in my PowerBook just to make sure it is the battery.
