Re: Wallstreet dead? How to resuscitate?

Ideas on ways to get it going since I don't have other batteries for it? Thanks in advance. I had a similar problem. I solved mine by the following with help from the other listers: My W/S would not boot at all with the battery installed AC adaptor connected. This I found was due to a dead battery PRAM battery. If I removed the main battery it would boot with the AC adaptor connected but when the battery was installed the W/S would not recognize it and thus not charge it. I have found out that with a dead battery the PRAM will not charge as the W/S needs a small amount of charge in the main battery in order to charge the PRAM. I then found out that a Apple programme called Battery Reset 2 would rectify a problem of the W/Snot being unable to recognize the battery. I found a copy of this programme by finding in on Version Tracker then installed it. This solved the problem as the battery was now seen by the W/S, charging began and the PRAM also as the date time kept correct each time it was switched off. The W/S would now also boot from the battery without the AC adaptor or with battery left in and adaptor connected. Hope this helps.
