My iBook has refused to start up now. I think the battery has officially died--but shouldn't the machine still run when plugged in?
I just had the battery light do the blinking thing on the bottom of the machine. Anyone else have this problem? Is it Apple store time?

Even if you plug it in, and the battery is dead, the internal battery that is, then it will have issues.
Try restarting the PRAM, and if that doesn't work, then I would Apple store it.

sweet! how do I restart the PRAM?

Hold down the following keys
Option+Command(Open Apple)+P+R
If everything works, your Mac will do the start-up chime, KEEP holding the keys until it chimes 3 times and then let go of them. Holding those keys for longer than 3 chimes can damage your computer though, so only for 3.

Opps forgot to tell you that you need to powerup/restart while holding those keys
