How do I remove the PRAM battery?

I leave on tuesday morning to go overseas. I've been told to remove the PRAM battery from my Power Mac before leaving.
How do I do this?
Regards,
Daniel

Not familiar with your model G5 as I have an original DP2.
There are more views of the internals here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86790
As you can just about see in the second diagram there, some models were fitted with a 'button' cell, shown more clearly here

- but it still seems to be in roughly the same place. I would have thought yours had a 1/2 AA lithium battery.

How do you change the pram battery on a slot loading iMac?

I'm hopeful that a new pram battery will solve the problems I've been having with my iMac. I just have to put it in, and judging by the correspondence I've seen on this subject, that's not an easy job. (One letter spoke of having to remove 16 screws) Does anyone know of a site that gives instructions complete with illustrations for changing the battery? It seems silly to have to take my set to a repair shop to change the battery, but I don't feel up to removing 16 screws without very clear instructions.

Hello,
So far, so good. My computer started after I changed
the battery, however, I can't be sure until tomorrow
morning because my set was still warm when I started
it. Tomorrow is the acid test. I'll let you, and
everyone else who has tried to help me, then.
Glad to hear that you survived, and that it seems to be working
Let us know what you find tomorrow.
A few comments: Whatever happens, this experience
will give me more courage for the future. I now know
that I can open my computer without breaking
anything--anything important, that is.
That's always a good thing
Possible problem: After putting in the new battery, I
noticed a loose black wire with a metal tip right
next to the battery.
Interesting...
The only thing I could think of that might look like that might be the Airport antenna.
But, it could be something else. Without pictures, it would be hard to really guess at it.
I hadn't noticed it before, so I
don't know if I might have accidentally unplugged it
from where it should be. Anyway, just to be sure, I
wrapped the metal tip with scotch tape to insulate it
in case it comes in contact with a metal part.
Was it attached to the logic board (the main circuit board which your battery was on)? Or, was it coming from somewhere inside the computer's case?
Any idea or description of where it's other end was attached?
I hate to tell you this now, but electrical tape would have been a better choice for insulating it. It's still possible for electrical current to pass through scotch-tape.
A small, white polyethene? part fell out during my
activities. I can only hope that it's not essential.
Without a description, it's hard to say what that might have been.
Does it look like a bracket? If so, it may have gone around one of the connectors around the CD-ROM drive connectors, or one of the other cables you disconnected.
Otherwise, if it doesn't appear to have a function, it might just be a piece of broken plastic.
If it's flat and rectangular, it could also be a cap that goes over the battery. But, those are usually black with a couple of tabs to hold it in-place.
Also, it looks like two small,flat, grayish tabs got
snapped off the bottom panel when I removed it.
That happens sometimes. I was fortunate with my system. I've opened it many times without breaking anything (yet).
I didn't find the job to be easy, but maybe that's
because I was stresed out during the whole operation.
Yes, that doesn't help.
Fear was the problem. I was afraid that I might touch
the wrong part, I was afraid that I might drop a
screw ito the computer, I was afraid that I was going
to break the bottom panel in the process of removing
it, etc. The most difficult step was replacing the
heat shield. For a while, I thought that I would have
to give up and just attach it as best I could.
Glad to hear it all went back together.
Hopefully the extra parts and cable were not important. I would feel better figuring out what they were if it were my machine. But, it's up to you if you want to delve back in there and try and figure it out.
Well, that's a summary of Niku's excellent adventure
in the computer repair world. Tomorrow I'll know if I
was successful. Wish me luck.
Thank you for the update. I hope all goes well and continues working for you.
Be sure to tell us what you find out in the morning.
Let us know if you have other questions.

Satellite A350 - How can I remove the password?

Hi every one
I am Col and I have just joint the site
I have a problem with my Satellite A350
I bought this laptop from a trusted auction,not on the net, with the password attached unfortunately this password dont work, but the auction house clams it does,
What is happening is when I turn it on the first screen you see wants a password, I put in the so called password that was given to me but it wont work. When I try to get into the BIOS setup it still wants the password before I can continue.
This computer is using Vista and I cant even put the Vista disk back in because the DVD drive wont work because the op system has not booted
I hope some one knows how to by pass the password or can help me. I have tried removing the internal battery but no go, my email is [email protected] if you want me to explain things better
Thanks to every one
Col

Hi Col!
These are not so good news
Im not a Satellite A350 owner but if you want to remove the password you should contact an ASP and ask for help. The notebook technicians are know how to remove the password and so I think they can help you at best.
On the Toshiba website you can search for an ASP:

How do i remove the adking tracker from my phone

How do I remove the adking tracker from my iphone5?

There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPhone, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). If you have jailbroken it, you need to restore it to factory settings immediately to remove the jailbreak, then don't jailbreak it again.
Assuming you didn't jailbreak it, it's definitely not a virus. Where are you seeing these ads, and under what conditions? What makes you believe that it is running constantly and draining the battery?

Hello Mudassar,
In SQL Server / T-SQL we don't have a native JSON support, so you would have to implement a solution on your own = parsing the string and remove the "Key" + it's value.
