I don't think that a new pram battery will be enough to solve your problem.
I thought the same this morning :( .

Earlier today, I connected another voltage regulator to the battery slot. This one was powered from a small transformer, but had a power jack on it so that it could be mounted internally.

Startup was the same as with an unsuccessful startup from the list above. I tried it three times with the same result.

I don't think that it needs recapping, as there are no signs of cap crap on the mother board. I have tried reseating the hard drive power and SCSI connectors with no change.

Anymore suggestions? :?: :?: :?:

P.S. I don't have time/money to spend on recapping/PSU change/new hard drive, but please suggest anything other than those standard and overmentioned fixes.

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I love my mac!
