I have a disk in my powerbook 4 that I need to eject. But I cannot get it to start up properly to do it. The technician told me of a way if I could get the power on, but I forgot.

Any ideas?
I don’t have an eject button…help.

According to the Apple boot keys list, you should be able to press and hold F12 to eject the disc before boot (press power and immediately press and hold F12 until the disc pops out).
If that doesn’t work then turn he computer off and back on, right after the startup sound press and hold Command-O-F. After the "Welcome to Open Firmware" screen at the prompt type "eject cd" and press return. After the disc ejects type "mac-boot" and press return. Boot will continue.

I have a fully charged battery. Even shows full in the toolbar. But when I power up my Powerbook, I get the message that I am running on reserve power and after a few minutes the computer shuts down. Once I hook up to my power cable it works fine. But I cannot use this Laptop on the go because the battery won’t last. What gives?
