Default PCM dead after battery replacement, thoughts?

I just replaced the battery in my 997 Targa today post having slow starting issues. Upon installing the battery, I noticed my PCM doesnt turn on now. I checked fuses D8 and D9 and they look ok. Any ideas what could be going on? Thanks.

I believe there is a fuse on the back of the PCM head unit. Dig around the forums for removal instructions.

OOps, the link is probably too old. I can't seem to copy/paste it , but go the DIY mod index and check out Edgy01's Navtv and tooki installation, for instructions on radio removal.

Thanks very much! I wasn't aware of a fuse on the back of the PCM. I'll remove it and check that fuse.

I removed the PCM this morning and surprisingly the 10amp fuse on the back of the radio was good. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
