[H] Strange no-power issue

[Thane Sherrington]

I have one of those Gateway all-in-one jobbies in the shop, and it wouldn't 
power up.  The PS is in the monitor, so when you pull that off, you have to 
connect another PS, and when I did, I'd get a light on the motherboard, but 
no boot.  Checked the switch, pulled all the components, still 
nothing.  Finally I pulled the CMOS battery and checked it.  It was 
dead.  Replaced it, and the system boots fine.  Never saw that before, but 
it's worth remember this sort of situation.
