So, I got my hands on this 386 machine, but when I tried to turn it on but it doesn't work, nothing happens when I press the power button.
I opened the case, and this is my first 386, I never had one, I never opened one... so I need help.

I tried to see if there was something wrong with the PSU, I try to see the battery and I found a VARTA battery that I had never seen, am I supposed to open that black box and find the battery inside? Is that the whole battery? Is it possible that the computer won't boot because the battery is dead?

Thanks

I'm don't know much about electronics but a AT power supply should turn on even if not connected to anything so hopefully its just the psu that's dead as it looks like a nice PC.
Someone with bit more knowledge may be able to tell you what's wrong the PSU

I guess the PSU is gone, unfortunately it's different from any PSU I have available, and I don't even find another one online that look like this one 🙁
