Hi,

I bought an old laptop (IBM 750c)..to use as a command center for my home theater...

The problem, one week after delivery, it will not P.O.S.T.,
any suggestions as to where to begin trouble shooting?

...could old bios / ram batteries cause this?

Rather than troubleshoot, I'd take up any warranty that it came with and say it failed shortly after delivery and you want a working replacement or refund.

Thanks...but that's not an option

Although it did work out of the box

We're talkin a very cheap (take it as is) item.
