I helped attempt to troubleshoot a Pismo awhile back, and while we couldn't find the cause immediately, I have been offered the system. This means that I would have a shot to resurrect it. I personally have eliminated most possibilities (other than complete system failure) except two:

Processor went bad
Logic Board went bad

Now here is the problem. It refuses to boot on AC or battery (known good from a Lombard I have), no lights, sounds, or anything else. Since the HD doesn't even start to spin, that makes me lean towards the logic board (since that controls power to the HD). Am I on the right track leaning towards the logic board, or have people had situations where there was no HD sound with a bad processor? I have seen reports of dead Pismos showing similar symptoms but with HD sound, which tends to lean towards the processor being the issue. Anyone have an entirely different diagnosis, comments or suggestions for attempting to resurrect it?
