1154493 2010-11-19 03:12:00 Got an old presario here, as soon as i switch it on at the wall, the psu fan starts and the led on the front lights up, but thats it. no cpu fan, not sure if the hdd is spinning up or not... cant turn it off, even if i hold the power button for 10 secs or so. checked all the cables, including the front power button cables etc. Tried removing the pci 56k modem, and one of the ram sticks, leaving a 256mb in there (133mhz) jareemon (5207)

1154495 2010-11-19 03:15:00 Let it run for a minute and felt the cpu heatsink, and it's hot... so the cpu is working but the fan isnt. jareemon (5207)
1154496 2010-11-19 03:16:00 Pull the battery for a min then put it back
Tried that, didnt do anything... the cmos clear jumper was set to clear, so i put that back to normal but no change...

1154497 2010-11-19 03:18:00 I would try another PSU / remove the CPU clean the heatsink. Then put some more paste on it. And clean the case out if its full of dust Speedy Gonzales (78)
1154498 2010-11-19 03:23:00 It's a weird shaped little psu, it's in a micro atx case... i dont have another one lying around.
I'm pretty sure it is the psu though. Found a huge dead bug in there too.

1154500 2010-11-19 04:28:00 nah it's bigger than a roach, its a weevil i think, one of those huge black flying bugs that when you squish them white stuff comes out, kind of like pale custard or white snot. jareemon (5207)
