Old computer D_ _n thing won’t start, HELP

by bouncy64 . Updated 19 years, 8 months ago

I have 2 different computers, they have working components(as best can tell), and yes i checked the battery and they are fine,all plugs are where they are suppose to be, and the right way, the problem is i can’t even get the bios to come up on either, the one was suppose to be a simple job of reformatting the hard drive, and worked fine a month prior, just the owner wanted to upgrade to win98 from win95, i have tried with two different monitors that i use on two of my older computers, i have switched out the vid cards and still no bios, the monitor acts as if there is nothing connected to it, the ram is fine also as both use sd ram, and i have checked the ram in another computer and is fine, one more thing i have checked the cpu’s and they work fine in another comp, they both sound like they are “firing up”, the sound of the hard drive and the lights flicker briefly as well as the keyboard,everything normal but no pic, like i said i tried switching out the vid card, and yes i know it is a good vid card, tried just about everything, any help would be great thx.
