So, was finishing doing a few things on friend's enw Compaq, and she mentions she wishes she could get her old EMachines going to. I inquire about it. Apparently, the "fan ran all the time and one day it just shut off and refused to power on". PS I thought, and I sniffed it, boy it smelled burnt up.
So I hauled it home and cannabilized a PS off a Compaq I had sitting around. After putting it in, lgiht on the Mobo comes on. hey, that's good, but still no boot. One thing I noticed. I plugged the 20 pin connector in, but this MB also has a 4 pin, square power connector I hadn't seen before, and this PS has no hookup for it. What is this for? Is it necessary?
Also, any other thoughts on this issue welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
