Macintosh Portable Sad Mac Error Code?

[chrisrueckert]

After a recap of my Portable (backlit), it chimes but produces this error with and without the RAM module inserted:

00000003
0000FF00

Any thoughts what the issue could be?

First, was it working previously?

 

[chrisrueckert]

It did not. Certainly because of a dead battery.

I’m fighting a similar issue currently. The major code of 3 is a RAM fault. Not sure what that minor code means for a backlit Portable though.
