[Ti] TiBook Will Not Boot Unless Reset

[Michael Byczkowski]

The internal buffer battery for the PRAM has ran out of capacity, same
happened with my TiBook...

The only way to rectify this would be to have this changed by a service
technician, as the battery is most likely soldered directly to the
mainboard.

Will wait for the next update to the MacBook Pro line and then buy one, 500
MHz G4 is really not that fast anymore... ;-)

Best regards,
    Michael
