-=PCTechTalk=- Re: computer won't boot- what next

Good thing I'm not a doctor, I don't have any patience   Actually
I bought
the 'scope cause I heard they were good to use for
computers.
Very low probability that it has suffered any abuse lately.
Ok, let me try
to remember what was wrong with it when I got it. It seemed
to me like
someone had tried to fix it and done a lot of things wrong.
The switch on
the back of the power supply was set to 230 instead oif 115.
The drives were
cabled wrong ( hard drive and one CD Rom) Seems like the
wires from the case
might have been loose. If so I probaly didn't get them
right, cause that's
one of the things I'm the worst at. But it has been working
fine till now.
It's really hard to remember since it's been 6 months or so.
I may not reply
to you again tonight, since it's bed time here. If not, will
get back to you
on this tomorrow.

Wow!  Calling Dr. Jo.  Calling Dr. Jo.       hehe
Babydoll has one of those around here.  I should ..., nah,
she would break
my fingers.        LOL
 
That beep is your mainboard's BIOS telling you that
everything checked out
OK.  LIAR!!!  Is there any chance the computer or any of its
cables were
banged, dropped, soaked, kicked, rolled, folded, spindled or
otherwise
mutilated since the last time you used it?  Also, what was
wrong with it
when you brought it home from the garage sale, just in case
it's related to
this?
 
I'd hate to have you go through switching out PS's only to
find it wasn't
that, so I'll leave that decision up to your ambition level
at this point.
 
Peace,
GMan

And what would a doctor be without patients?      Sorry, I
couldn't resist.

Yep... a stethoscope is most definitely a great tool to any
tech's toolbox. If anyone ever wants to pick one up for
those purposes, look into getting a mechanics stethoscope...
can be used t o better pinpoint where you're trying to
listen to, and to get into the hard to reach spots. Google
"mechanic's stethoscope".
