Hello - I have an Apple PowerBook G3 "Lombard" (Bronze Keyboard), and have noticed 2 things recently:
1. The laptop battery has stopped taking a charge. When I plug the laptop in, nothing happens in terms of charging the battery as would normally occur.
2. If I unplug the PowerBook in this state, when I plug it in again, the clock has been reset to a generic date in the past.
I'm certain I need a new laptop battery, but am not sure if that main battery would also fix the date and time being lost if power is not connected. That is, perhaps I need a different battery -- such as a PRAM battery -- to address that?
I've tried talking to a few people & searching online, but this area seems somewhat murky... So before I place any orders, it'd be great to know what I should be ordering!
Thanks for any input,
Jim
