Please help. "extra" computer had not been turned on for several months. It was fine when it was last turned off. One day someone went to turn it on and nothing happened. Upon checking, it doesn't seem to go thro POST at all. The CD-Rom light comes on, but H/drive & Floppy drive lights do not come on at all. There is no beep to show initialization. The screen is completely dead. I can not get it to do anything different, no matter what I've tried. I've disconnected everything, including the Dimms & tried one by one. I've changed the CMOS battery. The only really strange thing, to me--is that when it is completely turned off, if you plug in the power supply cord on the back, it makes the tower power-on. All by itself. I have checked voltage and that all seems w/in range. Pressing F5 & F8 does not get me any results either. No CMOS??? The fan is running on the CPU as well.
Oh--It's a Bestec Power Supply, Intel '98 Chipset, Winbond Bios, MEB-VM motherboard, (running Win. 98 sEd last time it worked)
Thanks for your suggestions.
