Re:1.42 Power Mac G4 - 2009/09/22 16:25 The PRAM battery seems to be the catch-all fix for everything posted on the Apple discussion groups.

Very interesting Krow.

The last three MDD machines I have looked at here in my retirement village have all had non-operating PRAM batteries. As I had a quantity on hand which are of no further use since going to a G5 Dual Core popped them in and anyway each one booted. Seems about five years is there limit.

Two were 1.25DP and one a 1.42DP. Wonder if the DP has anything to do with this? Have never seen the same problem with a Quicksilver, D.A. or earlier. Seems to be something the MDD do exclusively.

For some reason they will not boot either when the battery is flat.
