Some Mac models use the pram battery power to send the first signal to the power supply, thus will not boot at all with a dead pram battery. My IIfx didn't even chime when the batteries wore out, one day running fine, no warnings, no date problems (probably because it had 2 batteries). I went away for a week and when I returned it was absolutely dead. And the LC 475 will chime, but you'll get no picture, and IIRC no spinning hd either. Just a couple of examples that I can remember having seen myself.
