Hi Listers
I have a 280c and a 2300c with dead PRAM batteries. The 2300 boots
just fine with the dead PRAM and will behave itself after the
time/date is set. The 280c is not as forgiving but is useable.
Any howsomever There was a website that offered Duo PRAM batteries
shipped with torx driver and instructions.
Does anyone know if the site is still up (I managed to lose the URL)
or know of a similar source?
Hey 'List-
I thought I'd throw in an answer to (Terry's?) question that might
be the key to the whole thing, especially now that Duos are getting
so old: YES a dead clock battery on the motherboard will prevent
booting, prevent the Power Manager reset, prevent ANYTHING from
happening.
So, if the 30-second PM reset (holding in the button on back with AC
adapter in and removeable battery out) doesn't work, I would make my
next move cracking the beast open and replacing that motherboard
battery.
Which, of course, is beyond the scope of this email. :)
Good luck-
David
