I have just acquied a Mac Powerbook G3. The battery is definatly not working, I tried it in both bays, and nothing. Can anyone recommend an online store to buy a battery? I've seen prices ranging from $85 - $180.
Also, I am running the laptop off the ac adapter, it runs fine, but once I unplug the ac adapter I lose the OS. So if I unplug the ac adapter I have to reload the OS every time. Is this a problem because of the dead battery or is there something else wrong with the Mac?
