Hi,
In the old days, when my Lombard was much younger, when I would swap out batteries with my Lombard in sleep mode, my green light would keep on blinking, and I could then wake up from sleep without missing a beat, and especially without having to restart it.
Flash forward several years. My PRAM battery is dead, etc, if I remove power, not only does it die, but my clock goes back to 1904 or whatever.
Determined to not give up yet on my poor old Lombard(s), I order a new PRAM battery, put it in, and when I go to swap out batteries, it dies....
These batteries were from a reputable source, and my Pismo doesn't have this problem, only my Lombard (I've swapped PRAM batteries). Am I missing something? Was I supposed to reset the power manager too, or something?
TIA,
Charles
P.S. I was about to hit the "post" button, and my 40+ memory started kicking in...wasn't this a sign of a memory problem (computer RAM, not my brain's memory), if your computer didn't stay "slept" while switching batteries, and the PRAM battery was good?
