How does one check the PRAM battery voltage. I have a Batteries Plus within
10 minutes, and it has ALL the Mac batteries in stock all the time including
the 4.5-volt ones (benefits of having one of the new Apple Stores opening in
the area, I suppose). BTW, if anyone needs a Mac battery, I drive by there
all the time, so send me a mailer and a money order.............Now
remember, at the beginning of this, I confessed my sin of klutzophilia in
that half the power plugs came out when I tried to pull (that) motherboard
out the back. It took a few minutes to realize I could lay the box on it's
side and get to the RAM slot easier.
all the best.......................................................
