[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1775904, member: 175845"] It sounds like someone was messing about inside there like a bull in a china shop. Now I don't know about the "power connector", but to test whether a new PRAM battery is needed or not, first set the Date/Time in System Preferences after the Mac has been running for a few hours, then uncheck the set automatically option box, then power off the Mac and unplug the AC Power for 20-30 minutes or more, then start it up and check the Date/Time. If it stays correct, the PRAM battery is doing its thing and preserving the vram settings. If it says 2001 or 1989 etc or some non real date/time, replace the PRAM battery. Ebay as suggested. ifixit, we love macs, powermac medic, comes to mind and a general google web search. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
