Vostro 260s will not boot - 4th one with problem.
I’ve had this desktop for a few years and it has sat in my room since September unplugged from the wall. When trying to start up, I get ‘No boot device available, press any key to restart the system’ sometimes this does a full loop and sometimes I get a no harddrive message.
No Events found!

I would suspect the CR2032 CMOS (BIOS) backup battery, located on the motherboard, is dead and you need to replace it and then reset the BIOS to the factory defaults, for a first step. Might not fix the problem but as noted a first step.
