  • Faulty Machine - its dead!!!


    <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
    As it is in its original state, you hit the switch on the front of the machine and nothing. So, I got my Power Pack voltage tester, and nothing (but it is a Power Pack without a switch on it so it would normally run from the signal of the motherboard?).

    Next, out comes my new spare Power Pack (with an on / off switch on it J

    So, I got my own testing machine out, with yet another paower pack on it, swapped it over and the seme thing happened - fans running, light flashing but not 'firing up'.
    I tried to connect the old power pack to my machines Mobo, and nothing.

    Would you say it was the Motherboard, Power Pack, CPU or a combination of all? I mentioned it could have been a surge, but he was unaware of this.

      When do you mean "Power Pack," do you mean the PSU?

      If you have registered a year earlier, I have posted my old rig (see the "infamous" Recyklacooler) had a problem and It simply died.

      Yes, LEDs light, CPU warms up, HD spins, fans blow, and CD drives open, but there is no video. What is the problem? I got my mobo fried in a power surge. And yes, post your specs, and we might help you.
