Shawn, I have two PowerBook Wallstreet II's. In my experience, I've never had boot problems pertaining to dead PRAM batteries. You need to make the time to take your machine partially apart and put it back together. That usually fixes things. More specifically, you need to remove the hard drive, and then the CPU card, and then the RAM from the CPU card. Disconnect then reconnect any connectors you see too, for good measure.
If that doesn't work, remove the hard drive and then try booting off a floppy or a CD. It could be that your hard drive simply died in a way that's causing your machine to lock up.
