You posted "F12 gets me to BIOS. If I do, it goes right to the grub prompt". So that no longer works? Unless you made changes to the BIOS settings, this indicates a hardware problem. How good is the battery? A very old battery may cause problems even when running with the power adapter connected. The first step in diagnosis would be careful measurement of voltages at key points (maybe after checking for bulging electrolytic capacitors). The only reason for attempting a diagnosis would be to confirm the system is beyond economical repair. -- George N. White III
