I've got a PowerMac G5 (PowerMac11,2 M9591LL/A). Its PRAM battery eventually died so I did the right thing and initially bought a CR2025, which ended up being too thin to make contact, so the clock would get reset every time it was unplugged. Now I got the correct thickness (CR2032) and a lot of weirdness has started to happen.
Before I plugged it in I made sure to completely discharge the machine (hold the power button for a few seconds while the thing is unplugged). Now when I turned it on, booting took a bit longer than I expected... but I chalked that to the hard drive being quite old and tired.Then a light-blue screen appeared and it sat there for some 5 minutes.
After that, I went into Open Firmware, entered 'reset-nvram' and 'reset-all' and... it's been sitting on the exact same blue screen for the past 10 minutes.
Did I break it?
