I have a friends Pismo here that will not start up. All it does is do the
three beep thing then just sits there with the power on. I have to yank the
battery to power off. I've swapped the RAM out for RAM that I know works in
my Wallstreet and I get the same thing. The RAM that was in the Pismo works
fine in the Wallstreet.
So what other issues should I be investigating other than RAM? I'm quite
sure the PRAM battery is dead. Could that be causing the beeps?
According to this <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58183>
reference, the 3 beeps indicate a ram failure. The fact that the Pismo ram
works in a Wallstreet but not vice versa is not conclusive, since the
Wallstreet runs at a slower bus speed than the Pismo (66 MHz vs. 100 MHz).
