Timan Veteran Posted February 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 6, 2004 I just would like to know how many of us iBook owners batteries look like this. Left side of battery not fully flushed like the right side. It doesnt really bother be but it does look like crap when you payed a hefty ammount for it.

tgumbel Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Mine looks worse then that. It feels like it's about to fall apart. Can't wait until I can afford my 15" PowerBook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMayhem Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 They all look like that, but it doesnt make it loose or anything, so it isnt that bad. The PB ones do fit in better, not sure why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFNE Freak Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 On my PB 12-inch the inner part of the battery (farthest from the corner) is pretty loose and has give. Coincidentially, that part's the closest to the latch thing. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mihir Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 my powerbook's doesn't fit in that well either, but it's just that it doesn't come out to the edge of the laptop so it doesn't look nearly as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drebel Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Yeah my ibook has the same battery problem. I rarely look down there so it's not an issue for me. The only part of my ibook G4 933 that I hate is the creaking palm rest. If I press hard enough I will accidentally click something. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divinatum Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Geez, I guess I have some sort of super iBook... tim, your iBook is a g3 or g4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjones3 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 A recent convert to the iBook hardware, I found that my battery had the same problem. I call Apple and they replaced the unit. Now it isn't as loose but in terms of overall look it is a nuisance. Despite that, I love my iBook G4, 933mhz machine. So much so, I will be investing monies into a G5 with an Apple Cinema Display.
