Black Screen EEE 701 Need Help

I need help. Maybe someone can help. I bpught this on the flee market today. Sadly its not posting. When i turn it on the screen stays black. I tried the cmos reset (shorting gold triangels on the back). Cleaning the ram slot and multiple ram modules. With and without battery. Replaced the cmos battery. Still nothing. Fan is also spinning after the cpu gets hot.

We can save him.

Good news! We found the battery and charger!

Bad news: Not charging.

(Followup of my other post.)

Can I save him?

Doesnt have a battery, no charger (fixable) and suprisingly clean. Can we reconstruct him? Or is there nothing left.

What linux distro do you recommend for a 901 eeepc?

I've just dug out my old eeepc from storage. Surprisingly it works (mostly) but it hasn't had a distro update in years. possibly decades.

I can't get the wifi to work, and it has no updated drivers for a wifi dongle. So I thought I might as well redo the OS entirely.

I haven't really kept up with what's available these days so, any advice would be much appreciated.

thanks

Asus EEE PC won't connect to internet

Hey everybody! I inherited an old asus eee from my late mum. I love it it's so dinky! I did a factory reset and I've connected it to the Internet. That is all working fine. However because Windows 7 has retired it's search facility, I can't use that. Although it's connected to the Internet I can't use it! Has anybody got any idea how to solve this. I'm not a computer wizard so please moderately easy stuff only! Thanks ❤️
