- I am sorry to bring this issue again (I missed the conclusion). While ago
- there was an issue that Mac doesn't start at all after turned off.
- We were suspecting the capacitor in the power supply is not dischared
- and we waited for couple of days for the capacitor to be discharged
- completely.
-
- But I remember someone on the net said he replaced the real-time backup
- battery and solved the problem.
-
- Which is the right solution? Which one (power supply or battery) do I need to
- replace? Our Mac is MacIIx. Another problem is that I could not locate the
- real-time backup battery on the motherboard...
-
- Thanks in advance.
