The Precious 15" Is safe
Ah, my precious 15" PowerBook is back from getting serviced, hard. They gave me a new battery, and it seems they replaced the BAT CONN/WIRE HARNESS ASSY,PB15" which I believed was the problem in the first place. The problem was that the battery did not want to connect to the computer anymore, so I could not use it mobile. This also would be the source of the turning off while being shuffled around in my backpack problem that has plagued me the past year I have owned it. But all is well now, thank you AppleCare!
ah, the new battery gives me a life of 3 hours, that is quite impressive, 3 hours! And it just feels newer.
