Hi~ is the pram battery rechargeable on the Wallstreets? I've been having tons of trouble with my ebay-bought Wallstreet... I think the pram battery is dead, so I took it down to Battery Patrol and the guy looked inside at the mini-batteries and said that he didn't know of any lithitum-ion 3v bateries that are rechargable (he said he could rig somethign up for me for $25... beter than any replacement I can find on the web, plus Apple was NO help at all. As far as they knew, there was a PRAM battery, but no info on it... or charge me $50 >< humm...)... but I swear that I read somewhere that they are... or should I also get a PMU replacement too? - although my main batteries will charge properly, so maybe it is just dead pram after all. Aksim X works fine (until the root directory date gets off because of the loss of memory~), but in 9, when it begins to start up, I always get this white, blank rectangle. No startup or chime. The only time it will start up in 9 is when the book's been off for a while and/or unplugged... then if I try to restart warm or cold, that same darn box pops up again. Also, in 9, the system profiler reports my CPU as being 450 MHz instead of 300 like it should... X records it right. Any suggestions? It's almost like 9 is being over-bussed or something, but I reset the open firmware, etc. It's really strange. Any help anyone can give me would be very great... I'm in a panic because I leave for China soon and I need the PowerBook for my photos :D (hopefully if I can get this all cleared up >< ). Thanks so much for anyone's help!
