[QUOTE="Klesk, post: 922249, member: 126030"] i'm working on my friend's powerbook G4 that has been acting up on him. First thing I notice when turning it on is that the date and time is set to sometime in the 1970's. My first thought is that the PRAM battery is dead since he said he bought it from a guy who had it sitting around and never used it. I tried to reset the time to see if it would stay the same but it has a password on it and the guy my friend bought it from doesn't remember the password (he is using a guest account). Does anyone know of another way that I could test that the PRAM is the actual problem here without opening the machine up and switching it? Any help would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
