I'll second the suggestion to leave the 'Book plugged in for a week
or so

boot
after sitting unused for months. A good long soak in the electron pool
appears to be just the ticket. FYI, I've seen this with Pismo _and_
with
gen 1 400/500 TiBooks (very similar inside, doncha know.)
I've also had very good luck on "dead" Pismos by propping up the
keyboard, pulling the PRAM battery lead (red, black, white wire by
the battery) and powering the 'book on. It should boot fine if it's
just the rechargeable PRAM not waking up after it's long sleep. After
the 'book boots, I've simply plugged the PRAM battery back in and it
charges back up.
