Hi folks,
Well after building a new computer a few months ago I decided to fire up my old machine which I was planning on giving away to a work colleague so he is able to work from home quicker rather than relying on the works laptops. Only problem is the computer refuses to power on. Power lead is plugged in, switch turned on, it just refuses to show any sign of life when I press the power button.
My immediate conclusion is that the psu has died, however I'm a little sure how to deduce that this is infact the culprit. Just wondering if anyone is able to offer any advice on finding if this is the part that needs replacing rather than just buying a new psu when it may not have been the problem all along?
