nice score, dude! Let me know if you need help getting anything set up. 🙂

An LC475 will not boot without a good pram battery. A workaround is to turn it on, wait a few seconds, and then flick the power switch off and then back on immediately.

If it doesn't boot then you know that something else is wrong.
