Check the connection between the battery/iBook. The worst that can happen is you'll have to buy a new iBook.

Well, that is totally not helpful. Why not just take the 10 seconds to type it out in your reply instead of asking people to beg you to do it? You came here asking us for help why not contribute instead of just going after you got what you needed.

Anyway, you should have just reset your PMU if that ever happens again. It's the first step in trouble shooting this kind of problem.

well i guess i didnt say what i wanted to correctly. so i will try again i appologize. i posted a reply about how to fix the problem it is a new thread and it is called i figured it out! that is why i said that. i just didnt want people to keep wasting there time responding to this question. i am still new to the forum stuff and accidently made a new thread.

any how i will post the answer here to sorry about the mix up.

Thank GOD that i figured out the battery prob for a minute i thought i was out a little bit of money i just wanted to pass the solution along in case anyone runs accross the same problem. if you take the botom case apart and take off the static shield and look at the port where the ac adapter goes you will see a small bundle of wires running from there to the logic board there is a black connector that plugs into the logic board for this and is further secured by a yellow strip of tape this had come loose with all of the recent travel to kuwait and iraq. I am glad that i didnt send it in to apple for 2 weeks on such an easy fix. lol! at least it wasnt the paint.

I forgot to grab some pics but if anyone is having some problems and needs some help with anything let me know and i will help as much as possible and thanks for all the advice.
