Yes, I have had a similar experience with dead back-up battery.
Don't do anything else until you let it recharge. They go dead if the
machine
has not been started in a couple of months.
The backup batter, IIRC, is underneath the trackpad and quite awkward to
get to.
Given that Pismos are still under 2.5 years old (max), I would not
suppect it
needs to be replaced... just recharged.
