My 300 MHz Wallstreet has suddenly gone stone-dead. No startup chime, no nothing. The main battery shows all four lights, and it's been able to start the machine up recently. I've tried cmd-func-shift-pwr and all the other things I know about, but so far nothing's worked. Somebody suggested unplugging the PRAM battery (which has been dead for probably five years by now), which some research indicated would be a reasonable thing to try.
So I found instructions for replacing the PRAM battery on ifixit.com. It just looks like a lot of bother! I can see the battery and cable under the palmrest when I take the main battery out, but there's no obvious way to unplug it without actually following the directions. Am I stuck with that, or is there an easy way to pull the plug? Would cutting the wire accomplish the same thing as unplugging, or would I just be risking a short-circuit? -Peter -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
