It sounds like your problem is solved - but just wanted to say, my trackpad stopped responding once. It happened as I was downloading and installing all the various apple updates for Tiger. It was around update number 4 or 5, out of approximately 9 updates, I think. There was something unstable in the update number 4 or 5, apparently. After plugging in a usb mouse so I could get the next batch of updates, the problem went away. Also, problems with my battery magically disappeared after getting all the updates. Although yours appears hardware related, just throwing this out there to let others know that I suspect software issues can cause shockingly weird issues for the Pismo, too. Just FYI.
