[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1053127, member: 56231"] Following on from Mac SK's good advice, be warned that access to a G3 iMac's battery is difficult. Be careful about extracting the old battery, making sure it doesn't drop into the casing cavity while the iMac is tipped on its screen face. Collin Bl suggests making an open-ended v-shaped 'bandage' of masking tape to lower the new battery into position before pushing it firmly home with long-nosed pliers or similar. You can gently wiggle the tape off the battery with long tweezers. [/QUOTE]
