So, as it stands the computer did turn on.

I'm told it showed a cursor for 5 minutes then the screen filled with characters. Now when you turn it on, the screen full of characters is all you see.

Only the number 1 and : keys seem to work at present.

The motherboard as VERY dusty and dirty so have washed and dried it (water then IPA).
