Hello,

I have just replaced my motherboard battery but forgot to disconnect everything as the user guide suggests.

Now what happends is that I can power up once and switch off once, after that I am not able to start up again and have to remove the battery and put it back again to start up.

Have I damaged something!!

have you tried clearing the CMOS by moving the jumpers?

Hi,

Yes i have tried that but it dosent seem to of made a difference..I still have the same problem

thanks

disconnect all the connections to the motherboard remove the CMOS battery and leave it for a few hours and see how that goes.

No luck, I removed all from motherboard last night and put all back this morning,same problem.

Do you think I will need a new motherboard.

what make motherboard is it, the BIOS may be corrupted

ok it seems to be working now, I just disconnected everything again, all cables all plugs, the battery,let it stand for a while re connected all then after setting time date

Thanks for your help

Glad you're all sorted
