[Ham-Computers] Question about power supply in computer

[Dan Violette]

Also try vacuuming out the fan.  If the fan stops (even by gunk) some PCs
will shut down.  May sound weird, but I have seen this fix a PC.  You can
then replace the fan if it does start working when the fan is spinning in
case the fan is on its last legs.

I have a computer over here that wont turn on, and when I plug it in the fan
turns briefly and then quits. I'm guessing the power supply went out in it,
but wanted some opinions.

Or maybe what to look for.

Thanks,
Brian
