Title:
AC adapter versus DC-In board versus Logic board?
Text:
I have a 12" 1.33 GHz ibook G4 bought in 2006. My battery was not part of the battery recall program.
Battery Information
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1790
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 0
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 6192
Cycle Count: 0
AC Charger Information
AC charger (Watts): 65
Connected: Yes
Charging: No
1) I had the AC adapter replaced in 2008 after dropping it on the floor a couple of times.
2) The battery stopped holding charge sometime in 2010 and I've been relying on the AC adapter ever since.
3) The clock on my iBook has been switching to Jan 1st 1970 since 2008.
3) My laptop has been shutting down insidiously since the last two weeks regardless on what program I'm using. I don't hear the start-up chime anymore. The color on the power cord insertion switches from orange to green intermittently when the battery is secured. It's a constant green when I remove the battery but switches to orange around shutdown.
I am technologically challenged so I apologize for any unwanted information I may have revealed above. But, I'm assuming the battery is done for. After resetting the NVRAM and PMU, the clock stopped acting up. However, the problem returned once I unplugged and plugged the adapter.
I'm very determined to solve this issue. And I want to thank this forum in educating me! It's absolutely phenomenal! I'd appreciate any help in reviving this machine.
