Did you actually read the problem description? How is he to reset the BIOS?
By simply removing the battery for a few secs or 'by changing the jumpers as per instructions in the manual'. Of course, this is ... if the bios has actually been corrupted.
It is also possible that the mainboard has a power related problem
As I said, Fedora and Windows XP both run perfectly on this machine, once it has booted. Is that compatible with a mainboard power problem?
When the power button of a PC is switched on, then the keyboard draws power immediately. This happens even before the completion of post. So theoretically it is possible.
