Does anyone know how widespread this problem is? The battery on my TiBook DVI died soon after upgrading to 10.3.3. After some shouting Apple sent a new one under my Applecare but htis lasted a week before sticking on 0% . The machine went back to Apple who replaced the motherboard but it came back still stuck at 0%. Further irate calls saw Apple offering to exchange my PB for a brand new 1.33Ghz machine (how fast can you say "yes please").

There are dozens of posts on Apples own discussion site about this problem but I haven't seen any here.

It seems to me this is a major bug that seem to afflict only some machines (my wifes 12in Pb is also on 10.3.3 and seems fine. I cannot beleive that Apple are unaware of the issue but htey seemed bemused on the phone and happy to cough up a new machine!!
