| 1483753 | 2022-01-22 04:36:00 | Can you get into the Bios? No. I power on and there is whirring as things spin up, but that is all. Nothing ever appears on the monitor. |

| 1483754 | 2022-01-22 04:54:00 | Try a new battery, some mother boards don't like flat batts, has it got a video card or is it on-board video? | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1483755 | 2022-01-22 05:06:00 | Something left field , do you have another Monitor? or HDMI cable/DVI cable to swap around | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1483756 | 2022-01-22 07:32:00 | Try a new battery, some mother boards don't like flat batts, has it got a video card or is it on-board video? I did wonder about the battery. |

| 1483757 | 2022-01-22 07:34:00 | Something left field , do you have another Monitor? or HDMI cable/DVI cable to swap around I am sure that's not the issue, as it is not making any beeps, which I would expect with no memory/no keyboard etc. (only while testing). |

| 1483758 | 2022-01-22 17:58:00 | The motherboard does have a little speaker? Mine does not and has no way of making a noise before it boots. I could have connected one but didn't bother when I built it. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1483759 | 2022-01-22 20:01:00 | Nah, it's definitely dead. I put in a new CMOS battery, and also to be sure reconnected the monitor, but still nothing but spinning fans. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1483760 | 2022-01-22 20:02:00 | I very nervously connected the PSU from the dead PC to the working PC. I powered on and it booted up no trouble, so I am satisfied that my problem is not with the PSU. Ok. Good test. That leaves motherboard. |

| 1483761 | 2022-01-22 20:12:00 | Ok. Good test. That leaves motherboard. I fear you are right. I think I'm resigned to the fact. |
