HP Compaq: DOA - Obvious Things To Check?
Family members HP Compaq/Older Athlon X2 just went belly-up.
Only sign of life is a single green led glowing on the mobo: no power supply fan, no CPU fan, no response to DVD drive's eject button... First thought was power supply, but when I swapped in a known good power supply, no change. Then I figured "Maybe the on/off switch"... so I pulled out the switch and used a knife to jumper the two leads coming into it - figuring that would duplicate the action of the switch... but no luck there either. Unless somebody has a better idea, next thing I am going to do is to revisit the power supply and verify correct voltage on each output lead. -- Pete Cresswell |
