dave, It's probably just the PRAM (internal clock) battery. If not that, then the power board. First try plugging it in and hitting that little power button on the back. That may work. If not, OR if your date/time starts going haywire, then you need to get a PRAM battery. Pretty easy to install--about 5 min's with a Torx tool.
Try powerbookguy.com or wegenermedia.com---they should have them. The 5300 tends to not enjoy being left alone like this. I had one that I got because a guy left it sitting for 3 weeks. I think they do tend to wear their feelings on their sleeves, as it were! Tom. In a message dated 7/19/03 9:55:44 AM, you wrote: >Hey everyone, > >Got a slight prob with my 5300cs running OS 8.1.
