IBook G3 800 GHz will work on battery power but will not turn on with AC pl

This iBook will function with a battery, but when the AC is plugged in it does nothing. It will not turn on. Is this a logic board problem or maybe a short or something not connected inside for the AC plug?

It's a rather complicated repair:

Apple doesn't consider it a do-it-yourself job.
Expect to pay $115-$145 for the repair (plus shipping if you have to send it away). The iBook may not be worth the repair, so some people are trying to do it themselves.

  • T61 with Win 7 RTM won't sleep on AC power, will sleep on battery power

    Wanted to start a new thread on this since the previous similar thread discusses the Win 7 beta and other issues while I and at least one other person have this same problem with Win 7 RTM.
    My T61 (8891-CTO) will not go to sleep / suspend  when plugged in on AC power  running Win 7 RTM and current Win 7 Beta Drivers.   It will Hibernate on AC power.  It will sleep / suspend fine when on battery power. 
    When on AC power, the screen will dim when I try to get it to sleep but it will never actually suspend.   Moving the mouse turns the display back on and gives the Windows login screen.
    Since everything else is working fine and sleep works on battery power but not AC, I have to assume this is a driver issue.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Michael
    Solved!

    I figured out what was causing the problem on my system, so maybe this will help someone else.
    The Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service was preventing my T61 from sleeping.  I stopped and disabled this service.  Sleep is working great now.

  • HP ProBook 5220m Fan not working with battery power but work fine with adapter plugged in

    Hi,
    Any one have this issue?
    HP ProBook 5220m (Bios Version F50) Fan not working with battery power but work fine with adapter plugged in.
    This issue was found in my replacement motherboard. the original mother do not have this issue.
    The origianl mother to be replace is due to can't power on after a power failure recovery. I believe was due to power surge killed the motherboard's power controller circuitry.
    Appreciate any one can provide clue for resolving the problem.
    I have tried to install speedfan to try my luck, but it can't any fan in the application to configure. (Bios Version F50)

  • I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

    I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

    Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...
    G5 PCIe options are listed here:

  • HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong

    When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
    - If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

    Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

    For both
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My MacBook Pro will connect to WiFi but will not work in one location but will at others. I have the same issue with my IPhone 4S at the same location.

    My MacBook Pro will connect to Wifi at one location (this is a secure location) but will not allow access to the internet.  I will put in the password but will not display page.  Other wifi capable devises do not have this issue but my Mac and my Iphone 4S will not work.  I have tried restarting the router.  All other wifi locations I have been to have not had this issue.  Any suggestions? I am realtively new to Apple products (less than a year) so any advise is greatly appreciated.

    The other devices that are working got on with the same password.  It says it is connected.  Just nothing works on the internet.

  • Peep sounds when working from battery power

    Hello
    I bought a new HP DV6-1340 laptop
    I hear some strange peep sound from the notebook hardware when its working from battery power.
    When working from outlet power there is no peep sound from the hardware.
    Maybe its because the battery is new or something there wrong ?
    Thanks in advance for help

    I solved it my self. It was OK (no buzz and fuzz) when it was plugged in (when the electicity line was down once and I was running on the UPS battery).....

    One day my iphone 5 lost 50% battery power (standby+do not disturb+cleared multitasking) from 8am to 3:30 pm. What can i do? Or will apple release a new software?

    I am a lucky customer of two of these storms....once which arent 3 weeks old and the first one the one that was my phone locked up in the first week and i was mashing the screen not hard and the **bleep** thing broke...well verizon says you have 30 days till you can no longer buy the phone insurance and who would of thought in my first week the **bleep** touch screen would break by me tapping on it trying to get the locked up software to respond....and guess what verizon said there is nothing they can do  to a phone with a cracked screen....and also both phones blackberrry storms that were sent to me were used equipement.  but  I am still repsponsible for the two contract agreement and I cant even use the **bleep** phone...also they say you can add insurance within 30 days of new purcchase not the phone that was malfuntioned and the screen cracked....but they let me add it to the second line....i think its very dirty of verizon to send used phones with two contracts to someone and it malfuntion like that and not replace the phone...and still hold the customer responsible for two year contract...after all the **bleep** trouble the storms have been giving customers...thats why they are sending the **bleep** things out free of charge...dont get scammed and screwed like I did go with Tmobile or att..
