If you don't mind saying what model of are those workstations?

Opening the case reveals 5 swollen capacitors near the CPU. As far as I know Dell still refuses to acknowledge it is a problem, although according to Google searches it seems to be pretty common. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.

We're having a very large failure rate of computer power supplies in 2 of our brand new labs. These are 2 labs of 32 computers each... one lab is Dell Optiplex 390 SFFs, the other is Dell Optiplex 790 SFFs. I think they use the exact same PS. Issues are either A) No power and no lights, B) Blinking yellow power lights and won't turn on, or C) *Poof* smoke. We have 8 failures in the past month out of 64 computers. I'm just curious if anybody else on the list is seeing similar failures for recent SFF dells... Sales rep contacted, I'm awaiting response. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
