> batteries for it? Thanks in advance.I've had a bottom of the line G3 series Wallstreet given to me. I helped get it to boot some time back and pulled data off of it...so I know it had a dead pram battery then. I eventually got it to boot then by leaving it plugged in for a while...but this time its sat plugged in for over 24 hours and still nothing. Ideas on ways to get it going since I don't have other
I had a similar problem. I solved mine by the following with help from the other listers:
My W/S would not boot at all with the battery installed & AC adaptor connected. This I found was due to a dead battery & PRAM battery.
If I removed the main battery it would boot with the AC adaptor connected but when the battery was installed the W/S would not recognize it and thus not charge it.
I have found out that with a dead battery the PRAM will not charge as the W/S needs a small amount of charge in the main battery in order to charge the PRAM.
I then found out that a Apple programme called "Battery Reset 2" would rectify a problem of the W/Snot being unable to recognize the battery.
I found a copy of this programme by finding in on "Version Tracker then installed it. This solved the problem as the battery was now seen by the W/S, charging began and the PRAM also as the date & time kept correct each time it was switched off. The W/S would now also boot from the battery without the AC adaptor or with battery left in and adaptor connected.
Hope this helps.
