Replaced the battery, reinstalled the os, run setbatt to fix the scsi amnesia, and am reinstalling programs. Hope it all works now.

Easier to solder on the MB without the chassis in the way.

Before I dismantled the system, a trace in the MB burnt. I thought it was done for but the A3000 kept running for a few minutes before I shut it down and stripped it apart. Luckly the trace that burnt was short and not in the middle of other stuff. Cleaned up the burnt area and soldered a new wire in it's place. Didn't take a pic after I fixed it but here's one before.

So far so good...

hmmm   Guess this should have been posted in the hardware forum... :hat:
