My ibm compatible wont start up, the fans on the cpu and power supply work, disc drives lite up momentarily, but no beeps at all i think it is an AMI bios, if that is correct. anyway i was wondering if maybe the battery on the motherboard can be to blame. It seem to start acting funny with the mouse no working. I have tried booting it with nothing attached, ie removed hard drive cable and mouse and keyboard, but no beeps. thanks in advance for the help, Rick
