I tried to start the car, the engine ran, but as I tried to drive it, the car stopped running. The car won't start, the lights won't work, no aircon, no auto-lock. So I just decided to buy a new battery and see if it will solve those issues.

After I replaced the battery and waited for about an hour (I was advised to do that to reset system), the car won't still start. I asked around and people said the computer box is broken.

Is it true? Or is there any possibility that the issue was caused by other things? I really need help because I found out that a new computer box is very expensive.

Iba naman nang yari sa amin, may tumirik na taxi car sa harapan namin, d ma start ng driver ksi due for replacement na baterry nyla. tinanggal ku baterry ku at nilipat nmin sa car nya para umandar. ok na car nya na umaandar. cya nagbalik ng baterry ku sa car ku, said his thank you and went off.
