[QUOTE="fifizle, post: 1768243, member: 395339"] So much expertise on this forum! pm-r, if you ever have the time, would you mind trying to boot your LC 630 with the PRAM battery disconnected to confirm its effect? Yes, I tried manually connecting 3 AA batteries in series via leads temporarily attached to the battery pins on the motherboard, just to see if it would boot. I know, really sketchy. It didn't boot, but these were rechargeable AA batteries rated for ~1.2V so the total was only around 3.7V. Maybe I'll try again with an arrangement closer to 4.5V. But I have no intention of spending any money on this computer. I realize there isn't exactly a big market for these old computers. haha I just hate to see usable stuff get trashed and I'd rather see it go somewhere it could be useful or appreciated. My old 486 PC just slightly younger than this LC 630 went (actually got sold) to someone who wanted to play old games "as they were meant." The prime reason this computer was in storage was because it has no network interface, and without network/internet access, its usability is marginal. Plus the 24/7 high-pitched sound from the PSU was really annoying. [/QUOTE]
