Re: PCWorks: E-machine computers T2642 dead

Several years ago a batch of bad capacitors was
delivered to computer manufacturers. This made the
news at the time. I would check to see if a recall
was issued for the E-machines you have.

The capacitors are probably shorting the power supply
and making the computer "dead".  You could remove
the capacitors and see if the power supply comes back
to life. Do this only if you are not going to send the
machines back on a recall.
