The PRAM battery on my Performa 6200 died, so instead of shelling out $10 to buy a new Rayovac 840 4.5 volt battery, I made my own by putting 3 AAs in a battery pack and soldering the connector from the old Rayovac 840 onto the battery pack. Booting up the computer gives me the blinking question mark, so I insert a bootable cd and the computer boots. I can still access my hard disk and all the files on it when I boot from a cd, but I can't boot from the hard drive. I tried removing my makeshift battery, but I have this same problem. I would like to know if buying a proper battery will fix this problem, or if this computer is a goner.
Thanks, Andrew Conachey
