   Howdy! Ben and ALL,   
      
   After putting the notebook back together the Display didn't have   
   anything on it when I turned it on.   
      
   I "think" the OS and BIOS is working because when I hold a Key down   
   for a while I can hear some beeping sounds.   
      
   I've opened it back up to see if I can see anything I forgot to do.   
      
   One thing I learned is that working on a Desktop machine is a lot   
   easier.   
      
   Inside my notebook are some very thin cables to plug in to sockets,   
   I haven't seen any thing like that in the few Desktops I have been   
   in to.   
      
   Since I'm hearing the beeping sound when I hold a Key down I'm "thinking"   
   I got the new BIOS battery in correctly.   
   I said this because when I got the cover off of the battery holder,   
   the Cell flipped out.   
      
   My memory says that when I looked at the Cell Holder before I took the top   
   off, that I saw Printing on the Cell, so I put the new Cell in the same   
   way.   
      
   I'm guessing if I put the BIOS Battery in backwards that I couldn't hear   
   the noise in the speaker when I held a key down.   
      
   Hopefully when I put it back together again I will have better results.   
      
   I turned it on today with the old HDD in it.   
      
   So far  Win95 PC = 1     Ed = 0
