If a Wallstreet can charge an battery but not run off of it is this a bad power board or bad mobo? This is an old 12" model with no S-Video out.
TIA

Have you tried resetting the power manager?

When my Wallstreet 300 had a similar problem, it turned out to be the power manager board. While troubleshooting, the technician found that the battery worked OK in the right-hand module bay.
Another thing it might be is a bad battery. Has yours been heavily used? The Wallstreet is getting a little gray!

I agree, another problem the screw under the battery must have JUST the right tension or the battery will not connect, try loosening it or tightening it SLIGHTLY
I tried the reset procedure but it is still no go. The battery is good, it runs my other Wallstreet just great. This was an old 12" unit I ressurected from spare parts. I tried the battery in both bays also.

Heh, I guess I did not wait long enough, I tried the 12" machine a couple of days after resetting the power manager and it booted from battery finally.
Goodbye forever group, I am selling both Powerbooks and returning to the Windoze world.
