Well, upon disassembling my pb5300, I checked and discovered the PRAM battery is good. I still have a couple of oddities though...
When I plug the AC adapter into the back of the Powerbook, the machine starts up on it's own without my pressing the power button. The monitor settings are not retained from shutdown to startup. The monitor always comes up with the contrast at some predetermined level, which I always have to turn down. I have reset the Power manager as per instructions I've found on the net. I'm beginning to think a drive initialization and clean reinstall of everything might be in order here as I have no idea what kind of weird software might be floating around on the machine at this point. Any other ideas? Thanks, JIm W. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
