    Howdy! Ben and ALL,

    After putting the notebook back together the Display didn't have
    anything on it when I turned it on.

    I "think" the OS and BIOS is working because when I hold a Key down
    for a while I can hear some beeping sounds.

    I've opened it back up to see if I can see anything I forgot to do.

    One thing I learned is that working on a Desktop machine is a lot
    easier.

    Inside my notebook are some very thin cables to plug in to sockets,
    I haven't seen any thing like that in the few Desktops I have been
    in to.

    Since I'm hearing the beeping sound when I hold a Key down I'm "thinking"
    I got the new BIOS battery in correctly.
    I said this because when I got the cover off of the battery holder,
    the Cell flipped out.

    My memory says that when I looked at the Cell Holder before I took the top
    off, that I saw Printing on the Cell, so I put the new Cell in the same
    way.

    I'm guessing if I put the BIOS Battery in backwards that I couldn't hear
    the noise in the speaker when I held a key down.

    Hopefully when I put it back together again I will have better results.

    I turned it on today with the old HDD in it.

    So far Win95 PC = 1 Ed = 0
