Greetings all, I have a late 2005 G5 (dual-core, 2.3GHz model). It has been very nice to me these last 3+ years. ABout 3 weeks ago, I went through a couple days where the only way I could start it out of a cold boot (1st thing in the morning) was to reset the SMU (reset the board), then zap the PRAM upon successful launch. Did this maybe three times. I then replaced the CMOS battery with a new 2032 battery, reset the SMU one more time, and the unit booted fine. This seemed to have done the trick and for about 8 days, I had start-up bliss as I had come to expect from it. Tonight I turned it on (first time since Monday night), and it was back to its old tricks, and I had to reset the SMU again to get it started (it's running now). Besides the possibility that this brand new battery is not as fresh as it should be, what other concerns might this habit be indicative of? Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Regards, Dana
