It is possible that some part of your motherboard is

touching the

base plate of the cabinet. In such situations the system doesn't

boot up. This

*could* have happened when you depressed the board to install the

new CMOS battery. Try

lifting up the board a little with your finger tip.

I usually

have insulation between the board and base plate. Could be, Could be not, Couldn't say for sure.

Vivek

checked out this possibility. no luck still!
