Sounds much more like a weak or dead PRAM battery, actually. The load on the PRAM battery is only a few nano-amperes, just enough to "keep alive" the RAM within the RTC function (the same basic Motorola RTC chip has always been used in a PC/AT, because, at one time ... in a Galaxy far, far away ... there was only one RTC chip with these same functional characteristics). It is a VERY sad fact that, today, a complete, fully-functional Mac, may often be had for less than the cost of a PSU, or a mobo, alone. I have bought complete and fully-usable QS 2002 Macs for under US$10. Not cosmetically great, mind you, but, still, 100 percent functional. YMMV, of course. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
