So I checked my voltmeter on some normal alkaline 1.5v batteries at 10AC setting and was getting over 2v on both of them. Regardless of the accuracy of the readings I should be getting over twice the reading from the 3.6v over the 1.5v batteries correct? I priced some battery replacements and...

I don't ever use a voltmeter so I might be doing this completely wrong but this is what I did. I set the dial to 10AC and took a measurement, was getting less than 1v (barely moves) on the 10AC reading. I should be getting 3.6v right? On OHMS setting I get 20-10k if that means anything (that...

I am unsure of how to measure the voltage. Are you talking about measuring the PSU (maybe called a battery in this case?) or the actual little battery? Thanks for the help.

I tried the "jump start" method (power button 3 times), same as always. Sounds like the computer is booting just fine (HDD sounds like it loads as normal until computer is done booting), just no video. I will grab a voltmeter and give you're (tomlee) suggestion a shot, thanks for the help.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will give that a try today. The battery was replaced by a "mac professional" who thought the battery was the problem (no video). But, I wasn't around when this was done so I suppose I cannot be 100% sure. Is there a way to self-check a battery with no spare mac...

I am trying to get this old mac going for my dad (he wants old files off it), but I cannot get any video. He says he had the battery replaced and I just recently tried throwing in a new AV card. I get no signal at all (monitor turns itself off), but the computer dings once and sounds like it's...
