If you can't wait for your PRAM battery to drain, try this extraction from a
previous post I made some months back (don't worry if it does not conform
precisely to Apple's recommendations). You must have a good AC/DC power
brick.

It's clear that the 2400 is an EXTREMELY sensitive machine. It takes very
little to have a 2400 go into a "terminal" "green light of death" or "no
light & click of death" or other troubling and increasingly terminal
symptoms. ....... Here's my latest on dealing with "death symptoms".
1. GREEN LIGHT (constantly lit)
Disconnect AC
Pull Lion battery
Reconnect AC
Reset Power Manager button by depressing it for at least 40 seconds.
--battery out with AC connected results in resetting Power Manager on first
try every time that I've tried it (no more need for multiple resets).
2. NO LIGHT (hitting Power key results in faint click)
Disconnect AC
Pull Lion battery
Reset Power Manager button by depressing it for at least 40 seconds.
--this should work (works for me first time too) but if this doesn't work,
reconnect AC and repeat PM reset, always with battery out.
