PowerBook G3 won't boot/start

Once again, I have a notebook that won't boot. This one is a PowerBook G3 pismo with dual FireWire. When I try to power on the unit while plugged into the charger, I get nothing. So, I thought, "bad power/sound board." But I decided to try to boot from the battery just for the heck of it. I charged up the battery using the battery port of a clamshell iBook. The battery does hold a charge and I could boot a clamshell off of the PowerBook battery. But when I attempt to boot the PowerBook using the battery, I still get nothing. I even tried to put the battery in both sides of the PowerBook (both expansion bays can hold the battery). So what's up with this one? Thanks!

Deformed battery broke AirPort on PowerBook 12 resulting in self assigned IP?

Bought a PowerBook 12" 1.33Ghz 1.25GB RAM about 4 weeks ago. The thing worked beautifully.

 

Ordered cheap new battery from Amazon. Battery arrived dented/deformed on the corner pointing to center of PB when inserted. Had to apply some force to put it in. Battery worked, but my PB Airport immediately showed an inability to recognize and join my home Wifi network from sleep or after being turned back on.

 

Knowing that the AirPort is inserted through the battery bay, I removed the battery and never put it back in (returned it back to Amazon for a refund). The deformed battery was in the PB for no more than 20-30 minutes and only put in once.

 

Now the PB is unable to join known WiFi networks. It displays the "self-assigned IP address" information in Network Preferences>Advanced>TCP/IP. This would offur on every network I tried to join, home, work, free public network, etc.

 

After extensive searching I realized that I need to delete apple.com.alf.plist from the Administrator>Library>Preferences folder.

 

So, if I delete alf.plist from the above folder I am able to join the network and go online, like right now at home. It is obviously annoying having to delete that file each time.

 

Questions:

 

1. is there a permanent fix for this "self-assigned IP address" problem?

 

2. did I break the PBs AirPort by insering the defective battery and would the problems be fixed with a new AirPort?

 

Thanks for any input.

Cover battery compartment on PowerBook 190

Hello,

 

Some of the internal battery contacts of my PowerBook 190 are broken due to battery leakage (corrosion).

 

I tried to clean as much as I could, it looks better now.

 

I had to remove the old battery and now I need a way to cover the battery compartment. It wouldn't make sense to buy a new battery because I wouldn't be able to use it since some contacts are broken.

 

How can I cover it? Can I obtain an empty battery enclosure somewhere?

 

Battery model is M3254.

 

Thanks for your help.
