Once, my mac began keeping 1/3 time. that is, the clock ticked one second
for what seemed to be 3 seconds. Changing the battery had no effect. In
a moment of (brilliance|insanity, you decide) I momentarily (and
purposefully) put the battery in BACKWARDS. Well, it fixed the problem!
No other problems arose as a result. I am not reccommending that *you* do
this, just thought you might be interested.
(but good luck if you do) :-)
