Hi Wren Sorry, only just saw this conversation was happening. My first attempt to do Pismo surgery had me panicking when it wouldn't boot. Issue was the the processor hadn't clicked home. If yours is like mine (photos of Pismo internals on request), it'll need quite a bit of finger-force to get the processor sat home.
But before that, wait 5 minutes withe power cable connected. I left my Pismo alone for 6 months when travelling. I thought I'd borked it but it was just that the battery needed some charge before it would let the rest of the system boot. cheers Bruce On 27 May 2010, at 22:10, wren wrote: > It is all re-assembled, but I can't get it to power up.
