No, the battery is not dead - I've keeped the computer unplugged for hours a number of times, and time was still passing, moving from April 10th to April 11th and so on. |

What happened was I never gave a chance to the hardware clock to get back to 2006, after I resetted it to 1976 by zapping the PRAM and NVRAM. |

But then after people from this mailing list kindly told me how to set hardware clock to system time, the clock was back to 2006 at last. |

So this problem is solved for good :-) |

Having a dead battery, system clock resets to it's initial value only |
| 25 |
when I: |
| 26 |
1. Turn off the power |
| 27 |
2. Plug off power cord for a while, i.e. when I take the computer to |
| 28 |
a different location. 5 minutes is enough. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Simple restart is not enough. System clock is running like the |
| 31 |
circuit that lets to turn on machine "softly" - with power button on |
| 32 |
the keyboard. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
If you use oldworld machine and need to boot the old Mac OS system |
| 35 |
before running BootX, you can expect the machine to "forget" where is |
| 36 |
the startup volume too. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
With these information you should quickly find if battery needs to be |
| 39 |
replaced. |
