Hey
all; as you may know I am trapped in the world of windows at the moment but
would like to break free of the M$ shackles. Would anyone happen to have a
computer on which Linux will work they would be willing to part with? It can
be a Windows 98 box for all I care! I gave my b rother a ride home today and
he gave me his non working computer. So I brought it home and plugged it in.
Nothing! No post... no beep... not even the flicker of a light indicating
life. I'm thinking that it could be the power supply (he was having power
surges) but it might be the 'soft switch' (this computer is from '99). If it
might be power supply and someone has one could I test out my
theory?....
specs:
compaq power supply
part number:
124892-001
input= 115V~/9A, 230V~/5A
output= +5V===/22A, +3.3V===/14A
