You can reset PRAM manually (restart and hold down Command-Option-P-R keys until you hear the startup chime two or three times). It is worth a try, although if PRAM were invalid the ROM should ignore it anyway. BTW, I run all of my Macs with no batteries (and have Linux set the clock from a network time source). But ISTR that there are a couple of LC models that won't power up at all without a good battery. The Centris 650 in my experience doesn't need a battery. All of which makes me think that the problem with your Mac is unrelated to PRAM or clock battery (failed electrolytic capacitors perhaps?). -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-68k-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
