Pismo won't start after year on the shelf

hi,
after a year or so of not being used, my pismo won't start up. obviously, i'm using the adaptor. control-shift-option-power for a few seconds didn't do it.
os9, in case that's relavent, but i can't be more exact than that.
is the book dead forever, or is there something i can do?
thanks in anticipation,
stu

Stuart:
As jpl noted, the PowerBook G3 will start up without the PRAM battery. Indeed, after long periods of storage disconnecting the PRAM battery as suggested, often enables the computer to start up. If that does not quite do it post back for further suggestions.

  • Itunes won´t start after upgrading to the latest version....

    Hello everyone. After updating to the latest version of itunes it won´t start.I get the message itunes will be shut down due to the data execution prevention. After i followed the troubleshooting guide from windows to shut down the dep for itunes i get the message: This program cannot run without dep. pls help

    Quicktime doesn´t work properly. The program will be shut down. You´ll be noticed when a solution is available
    Many thanks.
    That and the iTunes DEP error suggest that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    *If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
    *If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Songs in "MUSIC" on my iPhone 4s won't start after tapping the PLAY icon.

    Songs in MUSIC on my iPhone 4S won't start after tapping the START icon.

    Make sure that is completely dried out. You can put it in a bowl of dry rice to ensure this. Otherwise its likely that the water damage ruiend a comonent. Try letting it dry, and if not take the product into apple. Unless you know how to take phone apart safely and look at the internal components.

  • My iPad, purchased in Nov. 2012 won't start after the most recent IOS update, and it's fully charged. Any suggestions?

    My iPad purchased in 11/2012 won't start since updating to the most recent IOS version in 3/2015.
    It's fully charged but pressing the HOME button or SLEEP/WAKE button, individually or together doesn't have any effect.
    Suggestions?

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • C3-01 won't start after charging

    I'm so angry right now but I will try and be cool about this!
    I bought C3-01 mobile phone about four months ago and it is already causing me problems.
    The mobile phone simply won’t start after charging. Last time i charged it, it miraculously came to life only, and only after annoying me for about hour and a half. Now I fear it is completely dead!
    Battery was not completely empty so the phone should still start even if the wall socket is broken. Which is not, wall socket works perfectly.
    Nothing helps! I tried removing the battery and then restart. Removing the battery then removing the sim card, memory card and that piece of “advanced technology” simply won’t start!
    I didn’t buy my new phone so that I can use my old Motorola mobile, which btw., still works after 4 years of intense usage.
    I will never buy Nokia again!

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear that your phone is not starting after charging.
    I would suggest one more thing, which maybe helps. If you have another battery, please try.
    If not,  i would recommend to visit Nokia Care Point in your area.
    To find your nearest Nokia Care Point, visit http://www.nokia.com/support and select the Repair page.

  • TS1717 itunes won't start because it says the folder was made in newer version, what should be done?

    itunes won't start because it says the folder was made in newer version, what should be done?

    If you haven't deliberately tried to downgrade iTunes then it is possible the library is corrupt. This approach should work.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Mac Mini won't start after installing OS X 10.6.3

    My Mac Mini won't start after installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. When I turn it on, the Apple logo appears and the initialization line starts to fill, but it suddenly stops. It does that again and stops at the same point, but this time it shuts down. What should I do?

    If you are coming from 10.5.8, hopefully you backed up your important data first. Your mini will need at minimum, 1 GB of RAM to install Snow Leopard and at least 5 GB of storage remaining on your boot drive.
    I treat 10.6.3 as a fresh, full install over a 10.5.8 system. That means I choose Disk Utility from the Installer's menu and repartition the boot drive as a single partition, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) format, and use the GUID partition scheme from the options button. At this point, while still in Disk Utility, I would verify the drive under First Aid.
    Then I turn the installer loose, and reboot into a working 10.6.3 system, ready for the software updates that take the machine to 10.6.8.
    So, following the above guidelines, reinstall 10.6.3.

  • Assistant NET8 and DBCA won't start after installation HELP

    HEllo,
    I've installed oracle 9.01 and later on 8.1.7 i cannot use the assistants net 8 and dbca after installation. Does anybody have the same problem. I think is has something to do with jre versions.
    I alse got the same problem when i installed db9.0 and oracle appserver 1.2.2.2 on the same machine. SOme config assistant won't start after install.
    ALready tnx.
    Francus

    Hello, yogendra k saini
    I'd installed oracle90 and 1.2.2 in different oracle homes. There was no error message. When i pressed the icon. Nothing happens.
    Yesterday i installed also a 8.1.7 database on the same machine as the 9.0.1.4 database. After a reinstallation of appserv 1.2.2a everything seems to work fine.
    but it is still a mystery for me why, because when i only install a 9.0.1.4 database and appserv 1.2.2.2 something goes wrong. Maybe APpserv 1.2.2. doesn't work fine with 9.0 database. That's not exactly true because i used appserv 1.2.2 for forms en reports...
