Well actually it is safe (and has been done by me many times) to add or remove PCI devices in a PC while it's on (after being deactivated in the Device Manager without a "restart the computer" message)... figured the same was true for an in-a-coma Mac as well, but for anything :-) .
Again, it seems that the RAM is simply not resetting correctly... there are no signs of damaged parts, leaking battery, dirty circuits, or anything damaged on the board at all... but it is still curious to note that there is no speaker sound even when it IS working, though sound does work through headphones (and the speaker on the analog board is conencted)...
