UPDATE: as I was walking past I thought I'd give the power key yet another go...
IT WORKED!!!!!!! I almost jumped out of my skin as I heard those sweet chimes
Well it worked for all of 10 seconds. It was unresponsive to my commands and then a window came up saying that there is not enough power in the battery and that it will be shutting down in 10 seconds, which it did. A battery icon also appeared in the top left of the menu bar as it was powering down. I recall that the low battery window came up a few times the last time I used it.
So I guess I'll keep it plugged into the wall for another few days and see what happens? Or hunt down a new PRAM battery if at all possible?
