Is it worth it to replace the original Pram battery? (2004) I did not notice a date problem but am racking my brains to figure out what is going on. dp1.8 ghz 4 gigs ram OS 10.5.9 Jeff Bequette
Reseat the RAM first then the processor. If that doesn't do it It's probably going to be a logic board ROM, a PRAM battery doesn't need to be good. An ASD disk should boot because it has it's own ROM.
