| Post subject: | Trouble with computers |
So I have an older Mac PowerBook. I closed the laptop and left for work yesterday. I guess at some point the power cord lost its connection and wasn't charging the battery. I came home, popped it open, and......nothing. Now the cord won't even light up (signaling that the battery is charging). My machine has no power and I can't charge it. I'm really at a loss over here. What do I do now? |

Is your cord connected in the middle? Try unplugging it from your comp, taking it apart, and unplugging it from the outlet. Then reconnect. That works for me sometimes. |

That's just it. I have disconnected it from the computer, and when I attempt to reconnect it, nothing happens. I think the battery is too dead to be resuscitated, or the cord is broken, or both. I'm in a real pickle over here, Reid. |

Have you tried taking the battery out and turning it on with it plugged in but with no battery? |

I don't know how the Mac power cords work, but my power cord has two parts (maybe this is what reid is describing?). At one point it stopped working, but I took the cord apart and let it sit for a little while then put it together and it worked. I feel like this is what reid said though. |
