All C500's may not be alike, but I've had a dead PRAM battery for over a year now and my computer starts up fine. I've but the date/time control panel in the start up folder so I can manually set the time and date whenever I start up. It's a pain, but I've been too lazy (and didn't know how) to put a new battery in. Thanks to the other Eric for the specifics on getting a new battery. I'm going to head down to my local Radio Shack and try to get a new battery in my machine. I'm sick of having to check the clock every time I start my SuperMac. Besides the inconvenience, are there any problems or am I causing damage by not having a working battery in my computer for so long?
