I have a powerbook 15"1.67 GHz High-Rez that will freeze very soon after or during start up. I have heard static noise...

I have 4 gig 2nd gen ipod mini with a new battery that functions fine when in a dock or connected to power. When removed...

Exchanged the battery (no charge it was under warrenty) for a new one and it is working just fine. Next time I will save the old battery until I confirm the replacement is working. Thanks for the help.
