Gday
My husbands CMOS battery was on its way out, i.e. everytime it was booted up a "checksum" error popped up, no biggy I just reset the date and away it went.
However as I had a dead mobo, with a working CMOS battery in it, I thought cool, I will just replace it.
So I replaced the CMOS battery, it booted into the BIOS, and this is where I made a fatal error.
I changed the time and date settings in the BIOS, der fred me forgot about all of the other settings :dead:
Anyways, the computer rebooted, and I got nothing, not a startup beep, just a lovely black screen.
So far i have :-
1. resat the CMOS Jumper
2. resat the video card
3. resat the ram
4. unplugged the PSU, turned the on off button half a dozen times.
Tried rebooting holding down the insert key, STILL NOTHING!!! no beep just a black screen
I am at a total loss as to why it will not boot up.
Oh I removed the ram totally to see if it would beep, sadly nothing.
