As I stated, I've done that..."I've tried every possible combination 
of PMU and battery antics that I've seen on the forums and that I can 
matrix." I unpluged the 120 AC, took out the battery, let it set over 
night, pressed the PMU, came back hours latter, replaced a new 
battery...nada. I've also done the same with all external cables 
remove including the mouse and keyboard...nada. I've done that with 
the video card removed as well...nada.
