Aurora 8, won't start

Hi,

My Aurora 8 stopped switching on a couple of days ago, complete blank when I use the normal on/off button and the power switch at the back only work while I press it (but the PC doesn't boot, just the fans come on).

I've seen a couple of other posts where this has happened to others recently and have followed that advice, swapping a new coin cell in. That allows me to switch on (via the power switch) but nothing boots and the normal on/off button now flashes 5 times. Reading the manual this seems to indicate that the coin cell needs replacing. I've swapped a couple of new batteries in but it makes no difference. Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction for next steps.

Thanks in advance

    Thanks, I've added a question in there as well. That's the thread I tried to follow for a fix but my forced 'restart' doesn't get as far as booting the PC up, it seems to be stuck - I'm wondering if it's a secondary problem
