[Ti] Titanium PowerBook G4 400 MHz/1MB Cache

[William Scammell]

Greetings all:

I have a Ti500 that seems to have gone this route. i've tried looking  
for a diagram of where the infernal PRAM battery is located but have  
had no luck (apple.com, barefeats.com, etc.).

Does anyone know of a decent site/PDF? I've had the case open but I'm  
sure what the PRAM battery looks like. Blindly poking around inside  
my old beast seemed, uh, like a Bad Idea(tm).

:)

thanks in advance for any help,

bill
