Indeed, the same effect happens with some cameras - I left two Lithium batteries in mine for about 2-3 months, tried to turn it on... nada. Always...
I tried CAPS LOCK, that didn't work, and also the fonts of the keys I've tried are all ones that I can decipher the differences. I appreciate the...
No, it's not an OEM key, and no, I haven't bothered with the Microsoft activation centre because it's not originally my disc anyway (borrowed),...

The new mobo would only cause it's failure if its power consumption was higher than the previous one (either by design or faults), and it had...
Yes, but I was genius enough to back it up onto the main drive, which either got corrupted during the backup, or failed... :(
And that, to me, would indicate a PSU failure, though personally I always thought that would just cut the PC, unless that's a total failure...
