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

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.

Thanks to Malcolm, Laurent and others who commented. Nothing has
worked-- I have another very basic Pismo on the way thanks to eBay and
I will start with the Pram go from there. I will let you know the

I thought the pismo had some design quirk whereby it wouldn't start with
a dead PRAM battery, but would if you bypassed the battery altogether. Or

Er, that's what I said, pull the pram as it'll work without one and might
not with.

Now it is my turn to have my Pismo go dead. It is an upgraded G3 to
G4/550 with 1 Gb RAM and standard otherwise.

I assume from your response that Lombard compontents are
interchangeable with Pismo-- any others?
Very few parts from the Lombard - HD, CD, battery, mains adapter.

I have had two Pismos for years and have had absolutely no problems with
either one, so I don't find the Lemon Pismo to be factual!
I'm with you.

Might be easier for you to just buy another Pismo and swap your processor,
ram and HD into it, then keep your dead one for parts.

Problem is, after paying $400-500 for a working Pismo you may
