[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1589722, member: 175845"] You are quite correct and I forgot that it was an [B]iBook[/B] series. They use a logic board mounted 0.022F 5.5V capacitor used to supply power to hold PRAM settings while changing the battery which only provides around 20seconds of power which is considered sufficient to allow batteries to be switched without loosing settings. But it could be a stiction problem that maybe a sharp hard wack on the side [B][I]might[/I][/B] cure. [/QUOTE]
