What size is the display, does it have a built in camera above the display?
Bear in mind that a hosed software update OR certain versions of Mac OS may play havoc …
Do you use two (3.1V) or three (4.65V) to replace a 3.6V PRAM battery? Or are you referring to replacing the 4.5V square PRAM batteries as pictured above?

Membership in the PPCMLA is free and easy. Anyone can sign up. Their forum also boasts a number of mysterious and liberating features which seem to be absent here.
Mike Richardson seems to only sell this package to ppcmla folks. Perhaps a PPCMLA dude could get Mike Richardson to sell this package to 68kmla folks as well?
Here is a way to get these 3.6V 1/2 AA PRAM batteries at a better price; 10 for $26 shipped in the US ($28 worldwide). I have purchased from this lot recently and I can attest to …
I'm seeking input on the cure to fix one of the other Macs in our classroom. It's a iMac G5.. not entirely sure of the specifications. It's a video editing computer but has remaine…

Well, I got the second Mac to connect. Didn't have to do anything, actually. I left it in sleep over the weekend with the cord plugged in, logged back in today and it automatically…

Those G4 upgrades are really hard to find. Only the early iMacs with the internal expansion port can be fitted with them. Finding them unused or freed from the confines of the mach…

Which model PBG3? IIRC, they all used different model battery packs for some of the PBG3s. However, if it's a Lombard or Pismo, they both used the same model PRAM battery.

Yes I found it.
When I put the 'bad' set of RAM in I get a normal chime but then nothing happens (the OS never loads). When I stick a good set in the other bank I get the chimes …
