A 3.6v Lithium battery - $10.99
Another working mac - priceless

Actually, I'd sell it for the right price, but that's not the point.

Thanks for your help.

Yep, it booted then promptly complained about the date.  Pickle, should
this little trick go in the FAQ?

A quick test is to turn it on, wait for the beep then turn the power 
switch off and back on again as fast as you can.  It should boot up 
normally.  If it does then it's a dead battery.

You have to have a good PRAM battery for those machines to boot.

Performa 475's won't boot

[Ed Murphy]

I actually have two separate Performa 475's that won't boot.  One
someone just gave me, the other I've had for a long time.  With my
first one, I took it out of storage, opened it, dusted it, then tried
to boot.  The other I just tried when I brought it home.  They both do
the exact same thing: When turned on, they happy chime and the hard
drive spins up.  Then nothing.  No video,  No sad Mac.  No boot.  Won't
boot from floppy either (considering no video, that's not a suprise). 
Anyone ever heard of this with 475's or Quadra 605's?  Seems strange to
have it happen on two separate 475's in the exact same way.  At first,
I thought I must have delivered a static discharge to my first 475, but
now I'm not sure.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  TIA

Restart holding down the Shift key until you see the Mac OS splash 
screen, thus disabling all extensions. Do a search (Cmd-F) for "at ease" 
and trash every item found. Restart.

Performa 475

[Snook, John R]

I got a 475 at the Goodwill for $4.99.
I got it to boot. The battery was low. I changed the battery but it still
seems to need the switch flipped twice to get it to boot. Any ideas?

Another problem is it has is it has At Ease on it with a password.
How do I get rid of that?

A-ha! That's what the eBay model looked like. So they do exist. I
