Clock resets to 1969, Blank Screen, Other issues?

Text:

Issues:

1)System clock resets to 1969.

2)Battery meter returns "X" value. Will not charge.

3)Screen turns black with a green bar on the bottom horizontal.

Any attempt tp use cd drive or plug in USB device such as an external storage will result in issues 1,2,3.

Tech Tools returns with zero errors. I have to reset the PRAM every time to boot the PowerBook. PowerBook will not turn on with the battery out even when unplugged.

Do I just have to replace the PRAM battery and main battery?

Device:

PowerBook G4 Aluminum 15" 1-1.5 GHz
