    About the Power Manager

    ... Over time, the settings in the Power Manager may become unusable, which can result in operational anomalies with the computer. Examples include not turning on, not waking from sleep, not charging the battery, or not seeing the AC Adapter, among others.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

     

    Is the power adapter the Apple model with the glowing ring? If so, what color is the ring when it is plugged into the iBook?
