+1 or bad capacitors, look on the board and make sure none are leaking or puffed out.
+1 as well for capacitors ... I was "gifted" a NetVista ages ago and discovered leaking capacitors ... plus it wasn't acting quite right. It was properly stripped down and recycled quite some time ago.
Same goes for the older Dell Optiplex GX260/270/280 series desktops. ;-)
Check the board for bulging/leaking caps first. Then I'd recommend testing the power supply if you have access to a PSU tester (or multimeter if you know what you're doing and are careful).

Hello,
I have an old IBM Netvista. Lately, it would seem to go into sleep mode but I have all that disabled. I would have to power off to wake it up. Now I think its done. I can't even get to the CMOS/BIOS. The power light is on but no beeps or anything spinning up.
I have two of these Netvistas and had put on away when I upgraded one of the machines. I pulled the HD from it and installed it in the other. Same thng. I'm fairly certain it was working when I updraded. I've swapped out monitors as well.
Power supply or hard drive, any ideas?
