Judging by the BIOS beeps, that computer is not operational at all, and would need significant reseating of cards, motherboard cleaning, and lots of other stuff to work properly again. Plus, the HDD is probably dead.
@@milesrn2312 I’m just a computer guy, the uploader probably doesn’t want you to know any of this though. The whole watchability of the video relies on the fact that the computers still work.
I've accessed 20-25 year old HDD, they don't usually magically die. While improbable, it is possible that some of these machines didn't even have a HDD. Floppy drives do tend to have issues though. MB probably has plenty of dust that should be cleaned off, but that usually wouldn't prevent the machine from powering on. Reseating the cards and chips is not a significant issue. It is possible that the MB or one of the cards, including video card, could need to be recapped. CMOS battery is dead and hopefully didn't leak all over the MB. I think many of these machines had switched to using coin cells but don't recall if they changed that then or waited until after Pentiums were released. I'm not sure how durable the CRTs are, but the desktops probably have VGA on board or VGA cards.
Chances are the CMOS battery has died and the BIOS has lost its settings, the power switches in these old PC's were mechanical and cut off power to the entire system.
