Measure the PRAM battery voltage and if it is below 3.2 volts then it should be considered to be dead. Replace with a new battery, which should measure 3.69 volts out of the machine and 3.66 volts in the machine. Or, just replace the PRAM battery if you don't have a DVM. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
