Title:

PRAM battery, can I replace it myself?

Text:

I have an A1278 that is exhibiting all the signs of a dead PRAM Battery. I have read that this means replacing the Logic board ! Given that the life of this battery is said to be around 3 to 4 years this seems to be downright sabotage by Apple inc. Is there any way to check the condition of the battery. Is it possible to obtain one and "do it yourself".
