PB 145B Battery

680x0 Macs and Lisa

I got a new PowerBook 145B last week. It works very well with only the AC Adapter connected but when I put the battery in it won´t turn on. Does anybody know something about this problem? How to fix it?

re: but it should work . . .

A dead battery can prevent 1xx series PBs from starting up. Why? Not sure, but that's been my experience and that of many others.
