Can I change my iMac G3 DV400 SE PRAM Battery?

Hello

I need to change the battery of LANDAU of my iMac G3 DV400 SE he has not been put in service for a few weeks now. I post here to get a safety advises to avoid death by electrocution myself and to avoid damaging the electronics. Please keep in mind, I am a complete novice and a layman. I have found the battery behind the trap door RAM map Airport - and I intend to change the battery by here rather than remove the entire bottom half of the machine.  In any case, I kept it unplugged for a few weeks. Now, should I get anti static gloves / mast, wrist strap etc,? What tools do I need - for example pliers to remove the battery, or is it safe to do so only with your bare hands? And what would you say to wear clothes and shoes? Is a bed in a carpeted room OK? Or what kind of environment do I do this? Besides, I do myself or must it be handled by professionals?

Thank you.

You have that gave a lot of thought... Everything you can reach through this opening, as long the iMac is turned off.  Danger (high voltage) is at the back of the CRT, which makes Apple (by design) hard to reach (unless you intentionally take the iMac goes beyond the 'user level').  It's just a battery low voltage, as the replacement of the battery a flashlight.

To avoid the unlikely but possible damage to the Mac, you should discharge static electricity from your body.  Work on a floor without carpet is better.  If you do this on the kitchen table, touch a metal surface ground, like the faucet to the sink.

  • How can I change the group that is assigned to a contact?

    I synchronize contacts on my 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, MacBook Pro and iMac. I would like to change some of my current designations of the group for some of my contacts. How can I change the group that is assigned to a contact?

    Mark,

    First of all, make sure that you deal with iCloud contacts.

    With the help of your MacBook Pro or iMac Contacts open and remove unwanted contacts outside the group. You will be asked "do you want to remove the card for 'XXX' or delete Group 'YYY'.» Choose "remove group.»

    Then go to "All Contacts" and drag the name of the new group.

    If you want to see what the contact belongs to groups, click on the contact and press 'option '. All groups with this name will be highlighted.

  • How can I change my Apple "username".

    How can I change my Apple "username"?

    I assume you mean the email address which is your identifier Apple and the connection?

    If your primary address (ID) is a @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address you cannot change. If it is a non-Apple address, you can change it as follows:

    1. First of all, if you have 'Find my iPad/iPhone/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn off the power.
    2. Create a new address of e-mail, such as Yahoo or Gmail or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it is not associated with one identifier Apple).
    3. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click on "manage your Apple ID". Connect with current ID.
    4. Where it says "Apple ID and primary e-mail address" and give your email ID address, click on 'change '.
    5. Enter your new address, and then click "save changes".
    6. Now, you will need to go to each of your devices and log in Preferences system (or settings) > iCloud - "Disconnect" on a Mac, "Delete this account" on an iOS device (this will not delete the account of the server).
    7. Then reconnect you with your new code. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you disconnect, but reappear when you log in.

    I have re-iterate: before you begin, turn off 'Find my Mac' (or other) or you need support services.

    GOLD: do you hear the name that appears at the top of your messages in the forum, in this case probably your real name? You can not change this. Only hosts can change, and they will therefore only in cases where it poses a security risk. If you think that this is the case, say so, here I or someone will pass information about guests: it is up to them what they do.

  • I have two apple ID.  How can I change one to match each other

    My id from Apple iTunes on my iPhone 5 s is not in the format of the email.  The same apple ID in the e-mail format is used on my iMac and iTunes on the iMac.    How can I change the apple on the iPhone ID to match the id on my iMac.

    You can not have two accounts with the same primary e-mail address, each account must have a unique id (and accounts cannot be merged, content remain tied to the account that has downloaded).

    If you want to disconnect an account on your phone and then tap on it in settings > iTunes & App Store and tap "logout" on the context menu, and you can then sign in with a different account

    (If this account is a former AOL user name account so that they no longer exist, support for them is completed at the end of March last year).
