That's what I was talking about before. The nvram faq pretty much
discourages against replacing the battery. I think it's the best route
to go. Reprogramming the nvram did take a little time, but I figured
that I was better off having done it, than not. Besides even if you
bought a new chip, you'd still have to program that chip. But from what
I've read, and the faq even mentions I think, the newer nvrams don't
work right for a lot of people in IPX's. The currently produced nvrams
are a bit different..... faster for one.
Read this page too. It's the one I read while replacing my battery.
