bob, have you checked your power supply to see if it is working properly? Check the voltages at the output connector and see if it is shorted.

bob, besides checking the power supply, remember that this series has issues with a bad capacitor. "The problem is caused by NEC TOKIN 0E907 Proadlizer PF/A Capacitor for High Speed Decoupling Device, witch is responsible of coupling or decoupling the CPU hi speed/hi power(ac plugged in) or low speed/low power(ac unplugged)." Hope this helps, good luck.

@juls sacra 10 years later and people still reading this :-)

Anyhow, in order for us to try and find it on your motherboard, we will need to see your boards. Both sides of course.

So you can add it to your comment which I will convert to an answer. Once we have more detail, I convert it to its own question. In the meantime, add pictures of your boards to your answer.

@oldturkey03 Sometimes I wish these prehistoric posts would be moved to some sort of archive.

@strongbow I guess for as long as there is still one person out there using this equipment, it's good to keep those old answers alive. After all, that is what we want. For people to use their devices as long as possible.:-)

It just gets difficult digging up repair information from 10 years ago :-)
