Yea!
One year, two shipments to Apple, over a dozen support calls, one nasty letter to management, and three trips to the Genius Bar later my Powerbook is finally fixed!
The problem? A defective battery which on the 12″ PowerBooks contains the Power Management Unit.
The last “level-two” support guy I talked to at Apple was pretty adamant that the problem was a “depleted battery” and that it was not covered under AppleCare. Wrong, you dick. Anyway, it’s over. Thank goodness.

I thought you already replaced the battery.

They did a long time ago. I don’t remember why (short life?) but the one they gave me was a lemon. All of this trouble was because they gave me a bad battery.
