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.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out. By the way, what do you use as insulation material? I'm using foam padding kind of stuff that came with the board's packaging.
