Problem after reassembling a Pismo; er, two Pismos...

2008-12-13 Thread Paul

I have two Pismos sitting around here, one with 512 MB and one with
128. I wanted to move 256 MB from one to the other in order to be able
to install OS 10.4 on it.

When I finished putting them both back together, neither one would
start up at all. Is there anything relatively simple that could have
caused this that I could fix? I tried reseating the CPU card in one of
them and pressing the reset button, but it still won't start.

I followed the procedures in the service manual, so I though I was
safe, making sure that both bays were empty before starting, and
unplugging the PRAM battery.

I wonder if I should just try putting back the memory the way it was.

I move CPU's and memory around fairly often in desktop Macs and PC's,
and I don't think I've ever had anything go this wrong.

Well, I was just informed by email - in an extremely friendly and
helpful way - that there's another group to discuss G3-5 laptops. I
dislike the Balkanization, but that's life...

So if anyone had something to add to this discussion, they'd better
get themselves down to the laptop group, or risk getting their wrists
smacked by a well-aimed ruler. I'll be going there myself in a few
moments.
