Hi Everyone,
I am new to this community and I need some opinions.
I have Ti Powerbook G4 (550Mhz) I bought brand new 10 or 11 years ago.
I still in love with this Titanium beauty and still use this for browsing internet.
(Amazingly, it still works just fine to do)
I bought macbook air few month ago but there is "something" about this
Titanium baby.
Anyway, I was using my Tibook few days ago on my lap and I felt
unusual heat (it was very very hot) on my lap. I flipped it and check out
the buttom of my Tibook and WOW, the battery casing was started to melting,
so I just took the battery out of my Tibook.
The battery casing melted a bit (looks like cigarette burn from inside) so I am keeping this
battery in safe place just incase it caught fire.
This battery is not aftermarket, this is original battery came with my Tibook when I bought it
brand new.
I googled this problem and I didnt find any battery problem with Tibook 550mhz model.
Should I report this problem to customer support? Does Apple still sell genuine battery for this Tibook?
This is my first battery problem and after this happening, I am very scared to buy thirdparty's
