Battery Status Error If you have a PowerBook G3 (Bronze keyboard) and have noticed that the battery icon on your PowerBook's menubar has a red X over it, your battery has gone into a deep discharge state and may not be recognized by your PowerBook. To wake this battery up, try the following tip: Insert the battery into either bay and leave it there for 30 seconds or so. Then remove the battery pulling it out just about an inch. Leave the battery in that precarious position for a few seconds and then reinsert it into the bay. Leave it in the bay for about another 30 to 40 seconds and if the X doesn't disappear, repeat the in and out procedure. Apple claims you may have to perform this operation 10 to 12 times before the X disappears and you can fully charge the battery.
