I have difficulty booting up computer
without disconnecting power supply cord and
then reseting computer. could it be that
the clock battery is too low, and if so.
where is the clock battery? I have a Mac
powerBook G3 (lap top). The computer will
not boot up in the normal way (power
button/etc.) Any suggestions? Help!

It is very possible that your clock battery is dead but
computers usually work while they are broken anyway.

You may want to try the links to service manuals for the
Mac PowerBook G3, you only need to read the one which
is for your particular PowerBook G3 model.
