[X4U] Help - Powerbook woes!

[Peter Payne]

Thanks for the reply. If it's the PRAM battery though, why does the  
resetting only happen when I plug in or unplug the power? Running off  
battery, I can restart and the time keeps its settings. Only plugging/ 
unplugging causes the problem to occur, as far as I can tell.
