Yes, your PRAM battery has failed! And the leakage of the electrolytic has corroded things. You’ll need to take it off (soldered on) clean the logic board and replace it with a fresh battery. The system won’t work properly without it.

Take a few pictures of the corroded area so we can identify the component and the location on the board port them here so we can see. Voeg afbeeldingen toe aan een bestaande vraag
