Re: iBook 700 and date time error on start-up
Sounds like your PRAM battery needs replacing. But the iBook doesn't have a PRAM battery, does it? It uses the main battery to power the RTC, and if you remove the main battery and wall power simultaneously for any length of time, it resets the clock, n'est-ce pas? -- Lewin A.R.W.

On restart/boot, it gives a date time error message at finder launch that says the time zone is invalid. It also turns off Appletalk. Anyone heard of this before or know of a fix? I've searched but not found anything. Thanks! Michael However, I have had that problem without the PRAM battery needing replacement. In my case, I had St. Louis listed as a city in my time zone, which was one of the choices given in the Date and Time control panel. This after a while, led to the Time zone is invalid message (possibly connected to the Location Manager, since the error messages began after I added some locations in it). After I changed the city in Date Time to Chicago, it went away. I think after I had (for other reasons) to re-install my system, I was able to select the St. Louis in DTime again without getting the error message. I found it puzzling that one selection from Apple's choices in Date Time gave me the error messages (for any period of time), but another selection in that same list would not.
