| Jeff Urban <jurb6006@gmail.com>: May 25 03:50AM -0700 Did you do the regular drill on it ? (any beeps ?) Start by pulling the cards, other than video if they plug in plug them out. Does it boot ? If not then you go to the drives and unplug all the DVDs and whatnot, all except the boot drive. Boot ? If not unplug the boot drive. Does it say something along the lines of "OS not found" ? If not then you take out the backup battery. Intentionally drain it down. Not the battery but the circuit. Make sure the circuit is dead. Short out the clips with something. Does it start up and sat "CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded" ? If not take ALL the RAM out. It should beep. If not it is either the mobo or the PS, and you can check for a bad PS anytime with a voltmeter. you should already have. But that is pretty much the drill. I can't help you with Winshit 10 but this is hardware and that used to be kinda my specialty. They sometimes got shit so fucked up I had to flash the BIOS. Cool Man, gimme some money. Anyway, just go through the steps I said, you don't even need a soldering iron. get back with the results and we can then get to the bottom of this. |
| vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com: May 25 11:07AM I'm in no position to do all that in the middle of lockdown I keep rebooting and it keeps stopping in the middle of the BIOS screen exactly at the "t" I do suspect it may just go away, so maybe if I don't use it a while? I got this P5 with dos kermit to dial up to plain text bash (lynx, tin) ISP I guess i need the "rest" and so does the computer - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus blog: panix.com/~vjp2/ruminatn.htm - = - web: panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm facebook.com/vasjpan2 - linkedin.com/in/vasjpan02 - biostrategist.com ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

Isn't that one over 10 years old ? I usually buy the refurbished computers off ebay for around $ 100. Found out years ago that everyone needs atleast 2 computers , especially anything running Microsoft products. One to use,and one to work with to get the bugs worked out. Always have plenty of backups of anything you do not want to loose such as documents and pictures. |
| vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com: May 25 11:09AM I tried the masking tape and for a minute. I thought it worked then it just slept on me. I played with the sliding on-auto-off switch and indeed it may be the auto contact isn't working. Yeah, if we survive covid/lockdown, replace switch. At least it works as manual.
