[Hampshire] Old Dell dying

[Roger Munford]

A friend has an old Dell machine which has served him well but recently 
it lost its date and time which I diagnosed as needing a replacement 
motherboard battery. Before he could change it, the computer became 
unstartable. No fan, no lights nothing as if the power supply had 
completely failed.
Could a low battery prevent the Dell from starting or is there another 
problem overshadowing it?

Thanks
Roger
