Is it possible it's a problem with the outlet?
The outlet is fine.
bios battery
Can that be replaced easily? Guess I should check the MB manual...
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Is there ever more than one battery on a motherboard? I see a 3/4" round 3V battery, but want to make sure I remove and test the right thing.

Usually there's just the one, and that's the one.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Can anyone elaborate on why Ubuntu seems to be the Linux distro of choice for 'ffistas?

Hey. New board.
Can anyone elaborate on why Ubuntu seems to be the Linux distro of choice for 'ffistas?
It's sort of the linux distro of choice for most everybody these days, from what I can tell. The internet waves I'm getting imply that it's the new sex - I'm guessing because it has a good balance of ease-of-use and customizibility/power.
(disclaimer: These are just impressions. I've never used Ubuntu. When I ran Linux, it did not exist. Also, I scoffed at ease-of-use: slackware and gentoo were my distos of choice, for I was a true computer-geek-manly-man.)

I got a replacement battery for my MB from Radio Shack. Before I try to boot it up, what should I expect? I assume some stuff will need to be reset like the clock? Anything else?

You may have to reset some peripherals in the bios, but if you haven't tweaked it before, I'd see how things run for now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Arggh! I was briefly hopeful when the guy at Radio Shack tested my old battery and indicated it was dead, but the new battery isn't changing my problem: Still absolutely nothing when I boot up, but if I disconnect the square aux plug thingie, and try to start up, the fan and CD light go on.
Bah! I'm this close to dropping a few hundred on a new MB and processor.
