I'm the original poster on the LCIII's that wouldn't start up after changing out the PRAM battery. "Ken" wrote me off list and also posted here and suggested I "double check the polarity of the new battery". Yep, I reversed the battery, got a chime and quick startup.
What is amazing, unusual, strange is that the other four LCIII's from that same batch had the poles in "normal" orientation. Why would one be reversed? I haven't done anything with the second problem LCIII yet. I did pull the battery on it, and it started up normally.
Thanks, Ken, and all who posted for this problem.
