hey all. i have a serious problem. i am currently in the caribbeans for school and my powerbook (G4 12" 1.5GHz) won't charge. its not like there's an apple store around the corner (its a 3rd world country).
here's the scenario: it just started a couple of days ago. when i connect the adapter, the circular light would not come on, or it would light up green... but flicker. the orange light does not come on at all to indicate that the notebook is charging. initially, i thought the problem was the adapter. but when i tried it on someone else's notebook, it charged up their laptop... so its not the adapter. i tried their adapter w/ no luck. also, i tried resetting the power manager by holding the ctrl-shift-option-power buttons for five seconds. i also tried taking off the battery and holding the power button for 5 seconds... all w/ no avail.
any ideas on what else i should do?? it would cost around $100 for shipping one way... and there's a risk that it might get damaged along the way... so i might as well go home to fix it.. but that would be really expensive.
any info would be greatly appreciated...thanks!
