Does it stutter in the recorded file, too?

If you have the nerve, bridge green with black on the ATX plug, that will force the power supply on. If nothing happens, try the power button, too.

Power switch means power button connected to the mainboard?

The chip ID is 86C764, or S3 Trio64[nothing]. When working on it however I used the 864 and Trio64V+ drivers in Win3.11 for tests.

You should know though that ceramic capacitors don't nearly reach the capacity of electrolytic ones. There might be some modern ones with higher capacity, but these get expensive. Older 486s tend to have tantalum and ceramic capacitors and newer boards also have electrolytic ones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDIP (vs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_leaded_chip_carrier) Look at your flash chip to see if it's the correct package type. EON EN29F002NT is the chip number under the sticker. EN = manufacturer specific prefix 29F = flash memory 002 = 256 kbytes NT = …

Lifespan I'd say a very long time. No liquid inside that could escape as in electrolytic capacitors. Finding yourself a datasheet can answer your questions quite well.

The squeaking comes from the voltage regulation loop becoming unstable because of degrading capacitors.

When the capacitors get warm they temporarily recover to some extend, so if you tried to start it a few times they may have reached that temperature. It will fail again when you let it cool down.

You can't restore to a folder this way.

Who knows if they put in the right capacitors... Matching voltage and capacity is not enough in such high-current cirquits.
