Well, what was initially diagnosed as a simple problem alas turned into a trauma. Changed the CMOS battery in my PC and it lasted all of five minutes before the whole thing died and wouldn't even switch on.
Went to PC World today, and came home with a shiny new computer. It was my initial intention to just get the old one fixed but since it's 6 years old and it was going to cost me at a fortune to repair it I didn't see the point. I've been on about buying a new computer for over a year so I saw this as a sign that now was the time.
At last I have a decent modem and a monitor that works. Horrah!
