Hi, Thanks for all the replies, a few more questions:
1. How can I tell if the problem is in the logic board or the power supply board? 2. Are both easily replacable? 3. How do I reset Power Manager? I was told to hold the reset button in the back for a few minutes... is that it? I've done it many times and nothing changes. 4. What do you suggest I do? The PB works good, except for the date thing, the non-charging main battery and a few unexpected freezes or shutting off (these rarely happen) I'd like to get it working again, especially the main battery. It's annoying having a PB that HAS to be plugged in all the time. I've opened it and changed the PRAM batteries, there's no leak. Thanks again.
