Desktop computer woes...

[cruiseroutfit]

I have an older desktop that I have in my home office for misc. use, it's not even hooked to the web but I still have my mapping softwares on it as well as photoshop and some other misc programs I need occasionally. Sandy has a power failure Friday that lasted for ~1 hour. This computer was plugged into a surge protector so I didn't even thing twice about it. Well, I went to fire it up today and nothing.

Pressed the button, held the button... nothing. No signs of life, no fans, noises, etc. I verified power to the back, check. Oddly if I unplug the 120V cord there is a green LED that slowly flashes on the back of the power supply.

Do I replace the power supply or is there something else I should be considering?

So all signs are pointing to a failed power supply. I can score one on Amazon for ~$25 but I need to verify fitment. Guessing there are hundreds of variations for power supplies?

I buy the antec 450 watt power supplies from amazon for the ones I replace at work. Never had a problem with them. Pretty easy to replace, takes about 5 minutes.

I've got one here if you want to try one out before you buy.

Any chance you can snap some pics of the main PC board plug. I'm assuming all the others are pretty universal but the PC one I'm not sure about. Would love to give that a try.

Yes on number, no on addy. You in Sandy at all tomorrow? I'll pay a delivery fee

Power supplies are pretty universal. The big difference is the amount of power they put out. For a basic computer like you've described, most any would work.

Thanks Caleb!

I hope it all works out. Losing stuff like that brings the suck.

Good luck.
