This is a Mac that is on it's death bed. All I want is to get it up and running so I can save what I can on my external hard drive. Any suggestions if this is possible? :confused: V

Thanks Ric but this PB is sooo old...I have no clue where they might be...Is this the only way? I tried the ol Option C thingy but I just get a refresh button and arrow but..none do anything. I used another battery I had and the same thing came up.

I am actually letting the computer completely run out of battery then recharging it..WHY..I don't know..I am trying anything to boost it back for one last use.

hellpppp
