Hmmm...... This is all very interesting since the 6100s have no mobo reset or "CUDA" button!
So, according to Apple, here's how you reset the 6100: Unplug the power cord, pull the battery out, disconnect the power supply cable from the motherboard, and then press the power on button on the face like you do when you turn it on. Wait ten minutes. Reconnect everything and turn it on as normal. If this doesn't work your replacement battery may be too weak to do the job - anything below 3.2v is likely to cause problems. This usually shows up as video problems first (black or blank screen). Hope this helps start your machine and clear up the mystery of the missing little red CUDA button.
