Stop that. You removed the battery - which shuts down the PMU. You replaced the battery - which boots the PMU. Then you started hitting the CUDA repeatedly -- which crashes the PMU and starts unnecessarily draining the battery! Just replace the battery. OR leave the battery in, but hit the CUDA button ***ONCE*** after changing the motherboard configuration (adding/removing memory or a PCI card). >My Yikes! wouldn't power up afterwards ... so I repeated the seating >of the RAM, and button pressing/battery replacing above. > >Things are ok now. The PMU finally got completely booted. But you've probably drained that battery quite a bit... If you have problems booting in the future, replace the battery. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
