My TiBook has it's first official problem! (closed lid sleep mode that's mandatory isn't that big of a problem for me) My battery, or my mac's battery "guts" that work with it are broken (or something is borked somewhere) so I called appleCare... they helped me nice, showed me how to reset themotherboard(therebykilling my 14 day 30 minute uptime) and after letting it sit all day just "charging" it still says 0%... gee apple... I kinda want that new battery now  Official 68k videographer |

Find the magnetic sensor on it so that you can put a big paper clip there then you can close it.

that sounds more like a power manager problem.... do the duo thing! leave it without power for 1-2 hours! reset the power manager, and plug it in. applecare doesn't know as much as they should... most of them just check the website and charge you 90$ for it... they said my AIO needs a new mobo, and yet, I'm typing on it!! WOW!
