I picked up a couple of leading edge computers the other day. One is a model 2 - 286 and the other is a 386. The 286 powers on, the floppy does not respond, and it tries to seek the hd but to no avail. No lights go on on either the hd nor the floppy at any time during the boot process. The 386 tries to boot but the screen stops at the model number info. No lights on hd nor floppy drive. I looked at the batteries in both units and they appear to be bad. Could that be the problem? If so, does it take much to replace these or do I need to be a super technician.
