[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1827218, member: 175845"] Yes, plugged into the mains with the LC's power switch in OFF position. And yes, according to a Mac Tech who told me years ago a lot of the early Mac models had some sort of small trickle voltage to help maintain the PRAM battery voltage. One of the other problems the early Mac suffered from with a non-boot situation (especially the Classic models) was due to [I][B]stiction[/B][/I] that prevented the hard drive from spinning. But a good sharp rap with a rubber mallet on the side of the Mac would usually fix that problem, at least to get the hard drive spinning. Good luck. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
