hi everyone,

17" 1ghz PB, bought on Sept 2003.

i baby sit the pb very well as specially the battery.

now i found out the low battery warning window Never pop out and the system just goes to SLEEP.

This happens when the battery remains around >40mins.

Here is the list that i did already.

Clean Format and install OSX10.3 (included all software updated)

Power managment reset.

Disk Per.Repair.

Everything just act normally. After full charge the battery, i have about between 3hrs to 2hrs and 45mins use time.

but when i use until less then 40mins(happen in 40mins to 30mins), the system will goes to sleep without the low battery alert.

anyone experience about this? the battery works perfectly. i did calibrate it the first use and the remain time is acceptable.

plz advice!

    clean install the os x. and don't update past 10.3.5.



    often the clean install fixes the missing low battery message.

    not everyone with anything past 10.3.5 and a laptop have that issue, but that build is jsut a bit more stable...
