Problem is this. The computer and monitor work correctly when plugged

they will not boot.
Dude,
1) Unplug the power board
2) Make sure it's unplugged
3) Cut its plug off
4) Deal with the pieces (if you're short of ideas, no doubt this list
could help out)
then trot to Bunnings and get some HPM stuff for $2.93. Don't waste your
time (again) on the $1.97 ones.

lol - reminds me of the time i picked up a 3 pack of power boards from
there, was like $8 or something, couldn't believe what a deal that must
be - woohoo! got home, tried first one, didn't go, threw it out, one
worked on all 4 outlets, the third works on 3, though one of those can
be a bit dodgy depending on orientation of board/cable. definitely got
what i paid for that day . . .
merry xmas to you all
Roger
