I think that model is the kind that won't run with a bad PRAM battery or NO PRAM battery. But there is a simple trick to test for this, after powering it on hit the reset button. I'm pretty sure this model has a reset button. If not then turn it on, wait a second or two then quickly switch it off then back on again. In either case if it starts up then all you should need is a new battery. -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
