Title: Obtaining a PRAM Battery for a Rev A iMac (and maybe a IIcx as well)
Post by: keithiepoo on September 08, 2022, 10:32:39 PM

Hello...

My 1998 iMac just decided that it no longer wants to turn on. I've gone online and it seems that a common fix is to reset the CUDA button, and then for extra safety, to replace its PRAM battery. Where could I acquire something like this??

Also, if I could acquire one for my ancient IIcx as well, that would be totally tubular  :D
