So I bought an Illusion desk at auction for pennies thinking it might be good for the village hall, typically being me I'm now so deep in I don't want to give up until I have made it work. So initially I I had nothing, not a sausage, no VGA output, no lights on the front. Inside I found the Mempac Battery and three lit LEDS. I replaced the Mempac battery and left it powered up overnight. In the morning there was an output on the screen with a number 06. So I put the software on a floppy and put that in the disk drive, I get nothing. It refuses to boot from the floppy. (the floppy is totally dead, there is nothing not even a buzz and a light) So if there is anyone out there. Is it possible to lose the bootstrap ? Has a rom Been corrupted ? If I get no answer I will try another floppy drive .. Thankyou Justin

Hi Justin, First thing i would have looking at on this is the internal battery. Was there any signs of corrosion around the battery, discolour track etc. You should be seeing the battery voltage on the header to the right of the battery, the centre and left pin should have a jumper connecting the together.
