That would be a cheap way to get into tinkering with the innards of the machine. The back has a plastic lower piece that snaps out, then you remove two screws, lift the wire bale and pull the MoBo straight back. Put your index and next finger in the bale and your thumb against the upper portion of the back. It takes a little force (make sure you have the right two screws removed) and the board comes right out. the battery has a connector that you can pull loose and see if the clock still works, but that is of r later. The battery is in all probability velcroed to the board. A little scary the first time you remove it, but a piece of cake after that. Don't worry about a battery till you get the machine to boot. Do you get a boot chime when you hit the button? I don't know abot running the software you want to run. There is a difference between 68k code and PPC code, but that all get away from me. I don't know what you paid for the 630 or what you paid the tech to tell you the Mobo was dead, but don't pay a lot for anything to do with a 630. The p-ream battery for one is going to be about $12 and that is about as much as a 630 is worth. So, you have to be a little judicious to avoid getting caught up in a good-money-after-bad situation. > Thanks for your response and suggestions. > Someone else suggested checking the Pram battery.
