Could it be that a dead PRAM battery is not allowing it to start?

So after all my complaints and pouting, I'm back on track trying to
get this 2400c working.
Good news: I got a new Powerboard and it seemed to help my 2400c
for a bit. Whenever I put my Comet to sleep, it'd wake up ready to
work and the battery fully works and all.
Bad news: After leaving it unplugged for one week, it won't power
on anymore. I do PMU reset (holding the button in the back)
overnight (not me, I used an object and fixed it against a book)
and it still doesn't power up.
Ugly: I thought I'd take out the battery and leave the plug in and
power on. Instead it sounds like it wants to turn on but it buzzes
for a few seconds, then fails to do anything.
What's going on? I think the Backup battery is tanked but shouldn't
the Powerbook battery still charge? I think the machine is confused
about how to charge and the battery is not charging. Any advice/
thoughts?
It doesn't have enough power to even get to GLOD I think :-) Anyhow
any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
You can try this, it's worked for me on other PowerBooks. Pull the
adapter connector, pull the battery then hit the power on button.
Now plug in the power adapter and hit start. Once the computer is
starting up (hopefully) then put the battery back in.
