Hello,
My LC has acted up over the years, and I've been able to get him back in line, but now I'm stumped. Today I had 2 power outages, both within an hour. The first one lasted about 5 seconds or so, and he booted back up once the power came on. After about 10 minutes of using him, the power went out again, this time for good. I gave up and flipped him off once the power was out. When the power came back on and I started him, it seems as though the clock battery died, even though replacing it did not help (no video, no chime, just fan and hard drive spin up). I distinctly recall a previous issue like this, but I can't remember what I did to fix it. I hate to ask, but is all lost? Without the chime, I can't zap the PRAM or do any other startup keyboard commands. Please help. Thanks.

EDIT: By the way, on my logic board, there are two solder pads that say RESET next to them. If I bridge them with some wire, would it work like a CUDA reset? Also, try as I might, the quick flip power trick does not seem to work on him, no matter what I do.
