Well, my new 12" PB is perfect for the most part, but I noticed something odd about the charging light. Hopefully it's not something to do w/ the DC board, but here's whats happening. The battery seems to charge fine if the PB is turned on. When I put it to sleep and leave it charging, the very first time, the amber light never turned green. It only did that when I turned the PB on. I had just finished draining the battery to calibrate it and it went to sleep automatically. I then plugged in the ac adapter and the light stayed amber. I just wanted to see how far it had charged so I woke it up. The light then turned green even though the battery was only 50% charged and the icon showed the lightning bolt. Only after I removed the ac adaptor and plugged it back in, did it revert to amber and start charging up again. I noticed similar posts about this on Apple's site and some said you may need to calibrate the battery 3-4 times. I never had this problem with my TiBook, so I'm curious if it's possibly the OS (10.2.7), bad battery, or something else. Thanks.

Another update, sometimes it goes to green when waking from sleep, but it always reverts to amber upon sleeping or shutting off the laptop. Already tried resetting PMU and that did nothing. It doesn't seem to be charging though when the battery if full. The battery lights will blink properly when charging and stop when full. I guess I'll call Applecare tonight after classes to get an AC adaptor switched.

You need to wait a little longer. On wake from sleep, yes the light will be green at first. If you wait a bit, it will go amber. This is not a problem. This has been seen before. Just be patient.
