Mac Powerbook 165c power on problems

by chesire1 . Updated 25 years, 6 months ago

I recently received two Macintosh Powerbook 165cs from a sister company that is cleaning out old inventory. I know these things are relics but our graphics department consultants just want to use them for word processing and email. Supposedly they are in working order but they dont seem to stay powered on. Both of them go throught the boot process and abruptley die(no power). I got one to stay on for about an hour before it did the same thing again. I thought maybe this was a common problem as I have two systems with identical symptoms. Im also using an AC adapter made for the book so its not a battery problem. Any Ideas?
