I am not certain, but I believe that the CC will not boot if the pram battery is dead. (Stuart would definitely know, and will hopefully chime in.) If doing all of the other obvious things doesn't start it up, I would bet that the pram battery has finally given up all its juice. --Cheers, Tom -- Prof. Thomas H.
