[Blindapple] Free plus shipping: Apple 2GS Rom 01 not fullyoperational

[Jayson Smith]

Good luck with that. The problem is that, on the Rom 00 and 01, the battery 
is completely under the power supply. Not only that, but it's soldered to 
the motherboard. Unless somebody has replaced the original battery with a 
holder when they had to replace it. Reactive Micro sells a kit to replace 
the soldered battery with a holder like on the ROM 3. They also sell a pack 
to allow you to use three standard AAA batteries. They also supposedly sell 
the battery needed for the ROM 3. Other sources also sell this battery. Let 
me know if interested.

I have a rom 1 iigs that I have been told has a new battery. What I want to 
do is put the so called new battery in the rom 3. I think I found the 
battery in the rom 3 to the left of slot 1 and the power cable but I can not 
find it on the rom 1.
