P3B-F starting problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Hi all,
i own an old Asus P3B-F - chipset 440BX (PIII 600 MHz).

In the past sometimes i had a problem after the on/off switch: the PC did
not start (no video).
But after 4/5 times it started.

Now it's stopped, the internal LED is on but it doesn't start at all; i'm
not able to power off, i must unplug it !

I read about some capacitors problems: i'd like to receice some links to
solve the problem, please ...

Thanks a lot !
Regards

Tried a new battery for the BIOS/motherboard?
