Tower not starting up.

[PCproblemhelpplease]

Howdy . A while back I requested help when my tower did not start up after being away for a couple monts. Long story short , I was given excellent advice to pull the watch battery and put back in . I did and it worked! This time same story , I pulled battery it was dead so I replaced with new battery but this time not booting up. As I look inside the fans are spinning and all. I am noticing keyboard not lighting up .Any help would be appreciated , thank you kindly.

What are the specs of the system?

Are there any lights on the motherboard (Usually green, red, yellow, white, etc.) are they lit up?

If you have a dedicated GPU, are your video cables plugged into it?

Did you remove anything or fiddle with any power connected when you changed the battery?

[PCproblemhelpplease]

Howdy. Im not sure of the specs , its old , it has 2 graphic drivers. Only light I see is the light on the power button , I will look inside with power on . Yes a while back I did fiddle , I think I just tried to push everything down because it wasnt booting up . But I did not remove anything with battery exchange, just pulled the power plug and then pushed power button to remove static or whatever that is and replaced battery.

Is this a prefabricated or a home-built system?

Does anything come up on the screen and can you access the BIOS at all?

[PCproblemhelpplease]

Built .No nothing comes up on the screen at all . It was built many years ago.

Have you preformed a tear down and rebuild?

Something may be loose.
skipping the CPU otherwise you will have to reapply the thermal paste.

Ironically after reading the last couple posts, I then took the tower outside to the light and pushed on all connections and used another new watch battery and it started right up. :giggle: Thank you for your kindness . Can close it.
