Were you able to figure this out?

Apologies for resurrecting a really old thread, but I am experiencing this exact issue on my 2400c and I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit more on this before I start tearing the trackpad assembly apart? In particular, any photos would be incredibly helpful but in general what do you...

I had this exact issue on a PowerBook 2400c I just picked up. Ended up ordering this and it works perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/Syba-Compact-Adapter-Enclosure-SD-ADA45006/dp/B0036DDXUM/

Replaced the DC input board and the charger board today. I'm reasonably sure it was just the DC input board but I ordered both anyway. The battery is now charging as it should, and I'll report back here with the results of the cell swap. My estimate is that it should have a working capacity of...

Quick update: after some sleuthing I’m now reasonably sure the Pismo’s charger board is broken. OS X’s System Profiler shows the dreaded “AC adapter cannot charge battery: Yes” message, and says it’s a 26W power supply. I’ve ordered a replacement power board, and will tear the machine down...

So I have a Pismo which had a completely busted battery. Taking it apart, three of the cells were leaking and pressing the charge indicator button wouldn't show any signs of life. Occasionally it'd show maybe 1 flashing light but most of the time it'd show nothing. The computer didn't recognise...
