My Pismo is dead-nothing?? Followup

2005-04-03 Thread John Collins
My original post---
 It does nothing--no chime no lights. I think it is getting power thru 
the yo-yo since it gets warm on the back side--pretty much as normal. 
The battery is minimal so i am sure it is exhausted by now and doesn't 
seem to recharge when left overnight. I have tried a few things as 
suggested by others--removed keyboard and

Fixed , thanks to help  suggestions from Alan Miller, Malcolm and Tim. 
It was the Power Management Card/ trackpad-- an eBay purchase has 
solved the problem. I had thought that it might be the Sound Card but 
evidently it is OK since it is up and running. Thanks to all for 
suggestions.

am I thinking of some other Mac?

Ah.  I had a similar problem but I fixed it by just removing the PRAM
battery, started it up and replugged it in to allow it to charge back
up.

Good to hear you fixed it though.
