No, no, no...  You shouldn't hold the reset button when resetting the 
PMU.  I know for a fact that this can cause the PMU to crash on a 
desktop, and I believe it can do the same for a laptop (after all, they 
use the same microcontroller from Mitsubishi for the PMU).  Press it 
once and once only for less than a second while the computer is off.  
Wait 5 seconds, then power the computer back on.
Also, try removing extra RAM and such things.

Most of the newer portables don't have a PMU reset button; instead you 
must press Shift-Control-Option-Power (but NOT Fn).

When you reboot, your date should have reset to midnight January 1 1970 
(though this varies depending on the model computer you are using), 
adjusted to local time.

HTH,
