Re: Pismo Battery Trick
Has anyone else tried resetting their Pismo batteries in a Lombard? I'd like to know if this is working for others before I borrow my friend's Lombard.

Playing Dead -a Lombard Bronze
Help appreciated. My Lombard is playing dead. Bought a G3 Lombard Bronze PowerBook about a month ago, just added 2 256MB chips (via help from a good take apart manual from powerbookmedic.com ($10 download)). I then upgrade its OS from 9.0 to 9.2.2 in the proper progressive steps, then installed OS 10.2 and upgraded it to 10.2.8, loaded MS Office '98 and life seemed swell. However, sometime shortly after I had installed OS 10.2 and it was running, I rebooted and the machine played dead. Wouldn't reboot, powerlight was out, pushing the battery got a momentary green light on the battery but no reboot. I removed the battery, unplugged it, put battery back in and then it worked. I figured (i.e. hoped) this was just an anomaly. I was then able to proceed with the various upgrades mentioned above over the next few days. During that time I was using the machine in both OSX and classic. Last night, after upgrading Front Page I went to reboot and the machine was totally dead. I tried the above disconnect tricks and once or twice I got a screen flicker of verical lines then nothing. It is as if there is no power to the unit at all. Any ideas or suggestions as to what is going on and what Ican do about it? Many thanks, in advance. Ely P.S. I did have a failed attempt at installing OS 10.2 over 9.0 then trashed them both and started from scratch. I may have upgraded the firmware before installing the new memory but when I trashed OS 9 and 10.2 would I have trashed the firmware upgrade as well?

No, trashing the systems shouldn't have any impact on the firmware. The firmware is a special memory that keeps some settings even when the computer doesn't have any power. How old is the battery?
