Battery Meter on Toolbar Stuck on Calculating

This is on a Powerbook G3 500 (Pismo) with 384 megs of ram.

After installing 10.2 (upgrade install from 10.1) The battery meter never shows as plugged in, just like it's charging and it always says "(Calculating...)" next to it.

If i have the machine hooked up to an CRT monitor, with the clamshell closed and video mirroring turned on the machine will go to sleep if I unplug the power supply. It should just go to battery.

I checked apple's website for a firmware update (found none) and I zapped the PRAM. Even went into openfirmware and did a set-defaults and a reset-all

Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to fix it?

Thanks
 
I have the same problem with my powerbook (bronz firewire).

I noticed that if I dont put it to sleep eventually it will show fully charged. I never use that anyways, I just push the button on the battery to get a charge state.
