How much RAM do you have?  It would be normal to go even 15-20 sec. from the
time you hear the "chime" to when you at least see a white screen.  You
won't observe anything during post and ram test.

Hmmm. Interesting one here.  If you're continuously getting the ' X ' over
the battery with all 3 batteries, problem may not be with the PM but rather
the Power I/O card.   Just keep trying that PM reset several times.   Follow
the suggested PM reset process as outlined on the Mac2400 site.
Here's the URL:

If nothing becomes of it, then it looks like it's time to call MCE,  DT&T,
After Hours, or someone like that for repair.

Hope that helps.
