[QUOTE="rsaeon, post: 2499329, member: 76792"] So I bought two of the P330's a few months ago and finally started doing something with them over the last few days. But since they were sitting unused for all this time, the BIOS batteries ran out and needed replacing. They had some really weird issues until I realized that. One wouldn't turn on at all, the other would post beep about missing ram. I had to second guess almost everything I knew: whether the processor was dead, or the brand new crucial sticks were DOA, or if the power adapter was defective — spent nearly half a day swapping ram modules and power adapters with my other (in production) Lenovo Tiny's until I had the idea to check BIOS batteries. I had nightmare flashbacks with how picky Dell Micro's were some years ago with power adapters and ram modules and started questioning if my life would've been better if I was a farmer instead. Normally the first thing I'd do with a used system/motherboard is to toss out the BIOS battery and put in a new one in, but I've been out of batteries for a while now and didn't think about it. Hours of frustration, self doubt and stress all over a Rs 25 battery. Hope this helps someone! Excellent machines otherwise. Would buy again 10/10. [/QUOTE]
