Hi, I was wondering whether one of the reasons why old computers fail is that the BIOS gets corrupted over time because it is stored in rewritable media.
Many of the old computers that I'v tried to reuse seem to have problems in keyboard, floppy and CD operation, which, I believe, are directly related to the BIOS. If that is so, then perhaps flashing the BIOS might fix this kind of problem.
