This, mind you, to get a replacement machine for the one with the flaky motherboard (which runs just fine once it has booted as long as you reset time/date and don't try to run X).

Change the BIOS battery for the old MB? I would expect the BIOS to beep at you for a dead battery but time issues suggest me only the battery as a cause
