Someone recently gave me an iMac 233 with 192MB RAM, Tray CD-Rom. I added a 10GB HD. He said the system didn't work and I confirmed that when I tried to turn it on and got no response whatsoever. So I got into the system, unplugged everything and plugged it back in after I installed the HD. I turned the system on and I heard the boot chime and the screen flickered a few times as I could see it was booting OS 9 and then turned off, only to not turn back on. So I did it again, took the system apart, unplugged all visable plugs, the RAM, the battery, and put it all back together again. This time, I heard the boot chime, saw an image, no screen flicker though, then the system went off again. Is the battery bad?? That's the only thing that makes sense to me. I'd like to get an opinion before I go out and buy one. Also, are these 3.6v batteries available at Walmart. I saw some batteries that looked like they'd fit in the camera section. Thanks.
