Well, I knew I shouldn't have bragged on my new powerbook 3400. After working flawlessly for several days, it has died. It started out by having problems hanging up and locking up during booting up. I did all the usual things, rebuilding desktop, reset pram, trashed preferences and it still acted buggy. I decided on a clean reinstall of the OS from Cd. Halfway through the install, it locked up. When I pressed the reset button however, it refuses to come back up. I have tried the power manager reset per instructions from the Service manual, but all I get is a situation that is as follows:
The machine will not start. When you press and hold the reset button to reset it, it lights the green sleep led and will not start. When you press the reset button it extinguishes the led, but still won't start. If you press the reset again, you get the lit LED situation again. I have gone through the power manager reset sequence several times, with no help. I am beginning to think that either the PM board or the main board is fried. Luckily, I have a 90 day warranty on the purchase, but I would really rather avoid the hassle of shipping it to California and waiting for a replacement.
