My Pismo wont boot up, system is powered with AC adapater as well as having the M7318 battery inserted and charging (?) I have replaced the PRAM battery, still no luck. I tried my other M7318 battery hit the startup button, got the startup tone and a apple showed up on the screen, but no turning pancake. After a while got a message to hold down the start up button for several seconds. This did shut it down, but I cannot boot up. Any suggestion? -------------------------------------------- If I understand correctly the system powers on but doesn't boot into the operating system. First, if you haven't, I would recommend resetting the PRAM (hold command-option-P-R for at least 3 'bongs.') Then try resetting the defaults in open firmware. Hold Command-Option-O-F at boot. Type reset-nvram and press return. Type reset-all and press return. If that doesn't work it sounds like the OS is corrupted or the hard drive is bad. I would recommend starting up from your OS CD or a drive utility and checking the disk. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
