Sounds like the power supply. If the fan went off, or it has a secondary power switch on the back (which would turn on the fan) and it's quiet in either position, then likely the supply. If it's the power supply, those are modular and can be replaced from a place like Staples (or they used to carry them last year, anyway). Usually the computer hardware is protected from damage when the power supply dies. If it was built for you, then the person who did it would know and may be able to drop in a new one and get it going again to transfer your registrations, etc., to the new machine, because .... as far as six years old, yeah, time to get a new one. I do a hardware upgrade of my system (usually from the inside) every three years. Last time I had a complete new one built from scratch, from ADK <http://adkproaudio.com/> ... sounds like a big outfit, but it's a relatively small team, and they can recommend based on your needs. Good luck ... hate when that happens. Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
