[DuoList] Duo230 is really dead. why?

[duoman at mac.com]

Hi Blake,

It's also very possible that the PRAM battery attached to the motherboard inside the Mac is totally dead. I've seen a dead PRAM battery render PowerBooks unable to start at all.

A quick Google search shows that there are still a few places online selling them, though I couldn't personally vouch for the quality of any such vendor... but here's an example:

I hope that helps.
