[Ham-Computers] Question about power supply in computer

[Duane B. Fischer, W8DBF]

Brian, 	
	
What you did not tell us:	
	
1. Is this computer one you recently acquired?	
	
2. If so, was it known to be operational at the time you got it?	
	
Before you conclude it is a failure of the power supply, consider a few other
possibilities. Such as an intermittent power cord or connector. Do you have a
continuity checker and/or VOM? if so, use them to do some checks.	
	
Let us see where you are at this point, before moving to other possibilities.

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
