But---but--- but--- I thought the power switch cut one of the 2 AC lines, hence completely knocking out power! Soo... that explains why it reset overnight (I had it unplugged b/c I was tinkering with the insides but never plugged it back in)... but not during the 3 hours it was off... plugged in...!
Oh yeah, and the clock doesn't run either (stuck at 12:00.01 AM)... does that mean the CLOCK actually RUNS off that little battery, even when it's on??? Wild. Ya know, those guys up there at Apple are pretty amazing people... sometimes stupid, yes... but amazing! :-) > Pilot wrote: > > >Well, turns out exactly like I thought... just needed a LOT of time off to reset - > >apparently when the comp is shut off it freaks out about having no clock battery, > >partially corrupts the PRAM, then when you try to turn it on, it has a heart > >attack.
