Re: Pismo battery loose in battery bay--normal and PRAM battery?

My battery is snug in my Pismo. That's all I can tell you. There probably is a problem. Does it charge? Anyway my battery doesn't hold much of a charge after almost two years, so it probably isn't too much of a loss. Jim Mine is loose from front to back, but it snug vertically. Also,

I am leaning towards the PowerLogix offers 500MHz 'Pismo' PowerBook G3 upgrade for my Pismo which is on special for $299, as I could use a bit more speed for Photoshop. http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0206/14.powerlogix.php Tom Donald Keenan wrote: I went with a 500mhz/30gb Pismo exactly
