| 104574 | 2002-12-09 21:14:00 | fuse should be inside the AT PSU :) | SKT174 (1319) | ||

| 104576 | 2002-12-09 21:48:00 | The PSU should locate at the back of the Case that looks like a silver box where the power cord plugs into it :) | SKT174 (1319) | ||

| 104579 | 2002-12-09 22:19:00 | > BAAAAHAHHHAHHHAHHAHAHHAHA YOU HAVE A 286 Hey.. I dont think that was called for. I learned to use M$ compatible PC's on a 286... I started with the OS Toybox 2 (Shareware and still available!). If I remember rightly, johnboy said nothing abut it being the PC he's currently surfing on. I've just built an AMD Athlon XP 1700+, but I still use a 300Mhz, which is the same idea.. but I'm using it for testing stuff. Dont diss the 286 man! Those things are legendary! Mine had a 20MB HDD that I could doublespace to 40MB and that rocked to me! Anyways, keep it cool man. Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 104580 | 2002-12-10 00:53:00 | Don't just assume the PSU is dead just because there is no action. Does the PSU fan start up? If it doesn't then there is a fair chance that the PSU has died, especially if it is original. Ordinarily I'd ask if the CPU fan started as well, but a 286 takes 17 months to fry an egg so cooling fans were not a requirement :D Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

But its screen would do a great job. |

| 104582 | 2002-12-10 01:28:00 | thanks.. there is no thing going just the light on the moniter..everything is plugged in tight ..i have,nt a clue just presumed it was the fuse.. p.s it's just a spare in the bedroom the original owner had it in his wardrobe for about 3 years before he gave it to us..but she was chugging along good up to now it must have been a rolls royce in her time.. |
