griffer Registered: 02/12/05 Posts: 209	I have just gotten my hands on an old powerbook g3 wallstreet. As you might expect, it has a dead battery. As im obviously not gonna buy a new battery, i was thinking of removing it to save some weight. Is it possible to use the PB without a battery (is it eg. "supporting" some other components)? Do any of you have a link to a guide on how to remove it? I checked pbfixit�s guides, but the battery wern�t mentioned... _________________________ - iMac g5 2ghz, 1.5gb ram. - eMac 1ghz (clocked at 1.27): 1gb RAM, Dual Layer Pioneer DVD +/- RW, 80 gb HD, 160 & 250 external Lacie FW HD�s.

Just flip out the lever in front of the battery to remove it. _________________________ PB G4 15" 1.2ghz - Pismo G3 400 mhz - iBook G3 500 "Jukebox" "SawSmurf" G4 500 - Quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz modding...
