Disconnect the power to the motherboard and then remove the coin cell battery from the board and measure its voltage. If it is <2.5V DC or if the battery is >4-5 years old, replace it. Usually they're either a CR2032 or CR2026 type (stamped on battery) and are available most everywhere e.g. supermarkets

''Press and hold the power button for the motherboard (assume it's connected still) for a full 30 seconds and then release it.''
Reinsert the coin cell battery (or its replacement) onto the motherboard, (+ve side up as marked on the battery), reconnect the power to the motherboard and check if it turns on with a display etc
