Well, I seem to have had a triple-biorhythm low kind of day on Saturday - either that or I was just stupid! Managed to lose my glasses AND fry one of my Pismos, all within two hours...

I was installing a new RAM card and got working too fast doing the swaps...aaahhh, one of the batteries got left in...when I went to reboot, no go. VERY FORTUNATELY I had stripped all power from my others, so I only had one body at the end of the operation, not three.

I have shipped it off to the fellow that I bought my other two from...nice guy on the East coast...waiting to see what he tells me can be done. He thought it was probably going to take a new motherboard at least...

So, has anyone else done this stupid thing? And how much goes kablooey inside when this occurs?

Live and learn...and slow down...that's my new motto.
