Computer Won’t Boot After CMOS Battery Change

  • 0

It was recomended to me, after a series of computer errors, that my CMOS battery might need to be replaced. I ordered a new one online and it arrived today. After unplugging my computer, holding the power button for five seconds and then grounding myself, I changed the battery. Now the computer wont start. It powers up, can hear the disk drive whrrr and the lights come on… but the screen stays in powered down mode and there’s no beeps or anything.

  1. This can usually be done without hassle. I assume you made sure it was the right way up and was making good contact. You could try removing it and re-inserting it.

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks
