PACKARD BELL LEGEND WONT BOOT OR RESPOND

[brandonc924]

I have a Packard Bell Legend 1824 CDT. Which as of now it will not do
anything.
Some Specs are:
-Intel 100 MHz Pentium Processor
-1.6 GB of Hard disk Drive
-16 mb of RAM

When I turn the computer on the screen comes on and says
"CL-GD543x PCI VGA BIOS Version 1.23b
Copyright 1992-1995 Cirrus Logic, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Copyright 1987-1990 Quadtel Corp. All Rights Reserved.
04/24/95
_"

And it just stays on that screen. I have the master cd in the cdrom
drive and the recovery diskette in the a: drive. Please Help !! What
should i try or do ?
Thanks

Toss it in the bin.

reset the bios either jumper or pull the battery...side note: check the
battery to see if its good. Older PB's would not boot unless the bios
battery was good.

 

[gcc]

recycle it?

It may just be wore out.

It is very likely that your older motherboard has finally died after all
these years. Possibly time for a newer computer.
