When u plug in your powerbook and its not fully charged the light on the plug turns orange until the unit is charged then its back to green. well yesterday my powerbook was completely drained. i plugged it in, light turned orange..came back 1 hour later, the light was green. i says 'damn that was fast!!' then i opened up the 'book and battery only read %50, i checked the batteries 4-LED lights on the bottom and only 2 were on. so it wasnt fully charged but the light on the power plug had turned green. wtf? is is a bad plug, software? anybody else have this problem?

I had this problem with my 550. I found it to be a plug problem. I ended up not able to charge the machine atall. I bought a new power supply, the new ones are a much improved design. I think it is just wear and tear unfortunately.
