I removed the RAM on top of the CPU board and then pressed down very firmly with both thumbs. Once I got the tactile feedback from the pressing, I put them back together and started them up. They both work now.
The service manual mentions reseating the CPU card, but it doesn't really mention the need to use such firm pressure. And usual sensible practice would advise against it, but the CPU pins are quire short and need the pressure to get them into the socket. Thank you for the good advice. I'll post my second Pismo problem in a new thread. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
