The correct procedure includes pressing the reset switch on the motherboard before powering up after a battery replacement. Did you do this? The reset switch is a red button (usually) on a switch soldered directly to the motherboard PCB (printed circuit board). Your manual should tell you where it is, or try macfixit or lowendmac webistes, as well as Apple to find a PDF manual. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
