Yes take the battery out; Will S. says 10+ minutes. Others in desperation (me) take it out for 24 hours. The battery is in a cage on the MB next to the ram slots. It's a tight squeeze especially if you have big hands so if you take out the processor card you'll have more rum to get at the battery. Squeeze the cage sides and the cage top will loosen or you may have to pick at the cage clasps at each end. If you have a hard drive in the bay next to the battery, you may have to slide that out to give you more room. Note which way the battery is. Positive is down if you forget. Disconnect the power cord too. Another option is to take out your cards too. Then after time is up, put the battery back (check it's life before if you can) and CUDA for 30 seconds. Then put cards back and CUDA again before plugging the power cord back to start up anew. Good luck. Eric -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
