Hi, Peter, The Power Management Update (PMU) is the one you need. Download and install it from apple.com where you can read more about it.. (Some of us had further hassle getting it installed, hopefully you won't have any!) It adds a tiny extension that seems to do the trick. I also read it's a good idea to leave the iMac sat without a battery for a long time (figures vary, I gave half an hour) nor should it be plugged in to the power strip after removing that old battery to wipe the bit of memory on the board (ROM?) before putting the new one in. All the best Pete __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
