Re: clock battery prob on 180c where to find it?
Bill, Mine is a PB 280C duo, so I'm not sure if the issues are the same, but it does sound like the PRAM battery to me (performs the same basic function as a CMOS battery on a PC). On the Duo 280, it's two watch-type batteries (I believe they're actually welded together), surrounded in a sheath of plastic, with a couple of wires coming out, if I recall correctly (been a while since I had the Duo open, and I am admittedly far from an expert). On the Duo, seems like it was under the keyboard and close to the hard drive.

Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 00:53:50 -0600 I have a PB180c which appears in fine shape except that the day time change constantly before my eyes.
