Is the most likely culprit to be bad capacitors?

Re: Computers in storage for five years
no
change the battery and try without the harddrive connected.
what computers anyway? - is this going to turn into a silly post about recapping everything on earth every couple of years? -

Re: Computers in storage for five years
As mentioned previously, change out more than likely the CR2032 battery.
Do not skimp on this battery. Name brand with a late expiration date has not led me wrong over the years.
Also what computer? Is it a IBM PC or Compat, Recent Apple Mac? Or is it an old TRS-80, C64,Atari 8 bit.
If its an old 8 bit computer more than likely the battery is not involved. (8088 IBM XT there was one for the date card/sometimes on the Main board)
If its a recent computer than the battery and standard PC Diagnostic to get it to post would go a long ways.
PC Diagnostics such as disconnect Hard Drive, reseat memory etc.
On the older 8 bit stuff its amazing what a Ultrasonic Cleaner, toothbrush, and IPA for a good cleaning will do. Still if traces are damaged that is a whole other game.
Thanks,

I have some old desktop computers that all seem to have the same exact problem
They all have at least one blown open capacitor on the mother board
One of does not have any blown open capacitors
But they all have the same problem in that it does not recognize the hard drive or the CD rom drive and the computer seems to be drawing a lot more current than I think it should
All the cmos batteries are dead and have gone back to default data and time
You can get into bio setup on all of them
What could be the problem with them... -
