PC No Boot push down on mb it boots chks

by casemaker . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

Hi, I have a pc in my shop, at the customers site it would not boot, video down on mb monitor blank, no fan spinning green power led on, no hdd activity. I have changed power supply nothing, changed memory nothing, reset MB checked for solid connections, nothing, checked all cables and ps output OK.
When I got it back to my shop as I was looking inside I pushed on mb and it boots. Error message cmos cheksom error message and cpu has changed go into setup. I do go into setup and reset the cpu internal clock and chang the date to today. I replaced the cmos battery as well. When it wont start I push down on the mb near the cmos battery and it boots. Now it appears to boot without incident. I am concerned if it is an intermitent failure and Ibring it back. Should I consider a failed mb or anything else.
Thanks
