Exactly what results did the battery test give when you can say that the Pismo is "as if it is a door-stop"? IF the battery, loaded on another machine, booted the machine, it COULD NOT be the motherboard as that is needed no matter what you boot from. IF it boots from a loaded battery, but not when battery is disconnected, but connected to the wall power outlet, nor is charging the battery, it could be: 1. the sound card as that supplies the motherboard with power from the wall power outlet (rule out all other possibilites and then replace the card or see if visibly needs resoldering) OR 2. the AC adapter itself (try with a known good one) If I misunderstood you here it is because you did not supply with the full set of symptoms. Please do if the above doesn't make sense. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
