[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 544808"] 7 Hours? Oh my! Guess that won't work then. :P Oh yes there is a battery! While the old Mac models could work without a battery more recent Macs like the Power Mac G4 cannot. You could try to [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86760"][B]reset the CUDA chip[/B][/URL] and see where that takes you. Report back and tell us how it went. Good luck! :) [B][I]Edited to add:[/I][/B] Since your Power Mac does start up, I don't think it's the battery. When the battery's dead I heard they don't even boot. Maybe trav or someone else, can confirm this or not but this is what I have seen at a couple of places. [/QUOTE]
