My test machine, a Gateway E-4500D that I got a couple of months ago at Free Geek, has developed an odd power problem. I had it on, and wasn't paying attention to it. I turned to it and move the mouse to bring it out of power saver mode, but nothing happened. It runs very quietly, once it's on, so it didn't occur to me that it was powered off. Eventually I figured that out. However, when I push the power button nothing happens. I pulled the power cord out of the back, waited a few seconds, put it back in, and pushed the power button. The fan comes on loud, which it usually does when the power cord's been disconnected, but the machine doesn't start to boot, and the blue light in the middle of the power button does not light.
Any ideas where to start troubleshooting this one? Thanks. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
