Hi guys & gals!
I have a bit of a strange problem. I recently did some work on a friends computer and all went well except for the CMOS giving me a message about the battery being low on charge. I simply left the computer running for a couple of hours to let it charge up a bit. I then set up the BIOS and it worked fine until I turned it off overnight and the same happened again. No problem, I just bought an identical battery & replaced it. Now though the monitor wont turn on due to it receiving no signal. I have tried my own monitor with the same result. (which I am using now on my comp with no probs). I even tried the original battery again but that didn't change anything.
The computer in question is a pentium 2 with Win ME installed.
I know it doesn't seem to make sense that a battery change would cause this. If anyone out there has any ideas they would be most welcome. Please help!
