After letting my Q40 sit for a while (since I am still having the
partition problem), I decided to hook up a 400 Meg drive as master
(leaving the current master idle) and give that a shot. So, I
unplugged the old drive (IDE cable and power), hooked up the spare
drive, and turn it on. Have you ever seen lightening indoors? Boy,
did the power supply light up and make a funny noise. It looks like
the power supply is fried. I doubt a fuse blowing would produce a lot
of light, make a an arcing sound, and smell that bad.
Nope (8-)#
Fortunately the protection system in PC power supplies usually stops
over voltages appearing on the outputs.
Keep you fingers crossed.
Don't even _think_ about repairing it.
AT power supplies should be quite cheap - under UKP20 over here.
The power is still being passed to the monitor (it's power was plugged
into the computer).
I think hardware does not like me.
