I can appreciate your reluctance to risk further money. However, if it is indeed the power supply, past discussions on this board indicate that ATX-type power supplies used in (all? most?) Power Computing machines can commonly be found at PC shops for $20 or less. That isn't a very great financial risk.
Better yet, it might be possible to take the power supply to a PC shop, ask if a tech can determine whether it is dead (warning: I recall reading that these power supplies should never be energized without some device on them, drawing some power). If it's toast, you can decide whether you want to pay for a new one. on 7/5/02 1:27 PM, Matt Muelver at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Help!
