Re:Pismo won't turn on with new harddrive installe - 2008/03/17 06:23
Dear cindel,
After having confirmed the check ,as suggested by swordbreaker55,it may be worth your while to check the following:
Dear macnut944,
I have five "dead" prismo as "throw out from a school here and everyone of them had the same symptoms as yours.
The answer to your problem is the PRAM battery,everytime (mostly).
To fix this problem access the PRAM battery(remove K/B first )unplug the small connector of the PRAM battery then lay the K/B back into place and press the start button (with P/supply in place and on).
Sit back and watch your prismo boot as it should and then after booting is complete lay open the K/B and reconnect PRAM lead and "recharging" commences ,or so it has for me (five times in a row).
As the odds of this being a fluke are unlikely then this seems to be the answer.
Please give it a go and tell us your results as I'm sure your prismo will fire up,as I said (above)it worked for five machines in succession and that could not be an entire fluke (coincidence).
Not sure what the explanation is but for no outlay I have returned five "dead" prismo's back to productive life.
Regards
mick
