Put the RAM back where it was.
It very likely doesn't like one of the modules in the 'wrong' slot.
Also do alt-apple - O - F just after the BONG and when you get a

Can also type 'reset-all' instead.
Or, better still, throw the damn thing away. S
If you are back in there pulling stuff like your processor card, you really
should check your HD cable at the connection to the hard drive, it is
possible to have misaligned the plug and a pin is bent or you are off by one
pair of pins.
Just 2 cents worth. Good luck on the revival!

With that level of problems I'd go to the nearest Apple Service
provider. The repairs at that point might be a lot more than it's
worth. Sorry to hear of your blues.

I seem to have been a bit unlucky when buying a Pismo on eBay. I hope
you don't mind the following shaggy dog story.
Firstly the DVD drive died within hours of receipt of the wee beauty.
