    Yet another Mac Classic PRAM battery leakage

    Yet another Mac Classic PRAM battery leakage

    Hi everyone: I bought some years ago a Mac Classic and I was unaware of the problem of the PRAM battery. At the beggining it worked fine but one day I powered it up and... ooops, it didn't boot up any more. I opened it and found that the damn PRAM battery has went off and the acid had disolved...
