Failing that removing the CMOS battery for an hour or so may solve it.
If they are Compaq units you may be up the swanney.
Oh bloody hell, Hiren's... of course, I'd forgotten about that. I
have the latest version somewhere too :-) I''l give it a go.
No Dick, they aren't Dell's :-) typical school PC's, RM jobs. Two
don't power up but the other two do. There's plenty of little goodies
like spare network cards, CD drives and RAM that make them worthwhile.
Heck, they were free anyway :-) It's also given me the oportunity to
try out my KVM... that I've had for months without being able to get
at it. Lovely 4 port job and it works fine :-)
