The PRAM battery in a powerbook is not only for maintaing the contents of PRAM when the machine is shut down, but also for maintaing the contents of RAM when the machine is in Sleep mode and you are swapping out the main battery, with no power supply plugged in. This takes a lot more juice than powering the PRAM only. >> Is that why my 520c no longer wakes up from sleep *even though* it's plugged into the AC all the while? I know the PRAM battery is dead/low, as I lose the date after leaving it unplugged for a day or two(with the main battery having just enough charge left � 6.1v.� to keep the date for that short period). If it's plugged in, though, would the dead PRAM battery still cause it not to wake from sleep? Thanks, Saul Broudy ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
