Hi Guys & Gals :)
Well I'm new to Mac's by about 3-4 months. I work on Pc's and know them inside out but Mac is a different story! I bought a powerbook G4 17", 1.67 processor, A1107, Low res' which I must say is a very very nice laptop.
The main battery needs replacing and tonight when I booted up the date came up which on any laptop is the Cmos/Pram battery. After checking out the Pram battery I'm wondering if I can buy just the battery or do I have to buy the complete assembly of the Pram/USB board?? Where would I get one from???
Can I get the Pram/USB board out without having to pull the whole computer apart and is there a video showing how to get it out???
Many Thanks
Annie :))

* The second question I have is can I get the USB/pram board out without having to pull the whole computer apart and if there is a video showing how to get it out???

* The next question I have is regarding to a 160GB external hard drive that is in a USB caddy... this laptop will not pick it up and the external drive just sits there making a clicking noise and yet the same USB hard drive works just fine on another old Mac (14"powerbook G3) but doesn't work on the other small 12" Ibook G3 either, Why is this????

* * My second last question for you is.... The tracking pad on this one (17" powerbook A1107) is not working, which isn't a great drama but it would be nice to get it going again plus I notice since I've been typing this that the key doesn't always pick up on the use of the spacebar is it just me or could there an under lining problem for this....NOT that I want any more.. thanks! ;)))

* My last Question is regarding watching videos over the net, they seem to be lagging and jumpy like there not enough power to play them?? and yet when I play a DVD it seems to play OK???? It's running 1GB of ram at the moment but I have ordered another 1GB to boost it up to a total of 2G. Any idea's on this would be great :))))
