I was IMed this from a friend today, is there a possibility to do this another way...



Mark says, "Im home for spring break and leae tomarrow back to north carolina, and last night I wAS WATCHING A RENTED MOVIE ON MY POWERBOOK AND THE BATTERY DIED, AND i FORGOT MY CHARGER and it wont eject the movie"



Any ideas other than him using me? Is there another way to open his slot load disc drive, without getting a power adapter.

    Does it not turn on at all? There should be enough power to turn it on and hold the mouse button for a few seconds.. that ejects the disk.

    Is it a slot-loader? My Titanium has a little button on its front right side that can be pushed in with a paper clip.

    I suggest that you have him try what the others recommended... but I wanna say one thing: Your friend is an idiot to have gone on the road with his computer without having any way to recharge the battery. Whenever I go anywhere with my iBook and soon with my 12" Powerbook G4 SD I always take the power adapter with me even if I don't use it. Tell him this. heh. Tell him to take his power adapter with him to prevent this from happening again.



    Oh and BTW: as far as I know, in that situation the computer's battery doesn't die. It puts the computer in a safe mode. It went to sleep to save the contents of memory (like the time and date settings etc). Once the power adapter is connected it'll be on again in no time.
