I am trying to repair an emachine that I believe has a bad PSU:
Specs:
emachines T2682
2.60 Ghz Intel Cerelon
CD/RW 48x
DVD Rom 16X
80GB HDD
56K Mdm
256 MB
3d Intel Extreme Graphics AGP
Replaced Power supply with an Antec 500 W Basiq model.
PROBLEM: Seeing that the previous power supply was dead so after installing the replacement I noticed that the Power Light just stays yellow. The processorfan does not turn on nor does my harddrive spin. However, if I unplug the IDE connection to the hard drive, the power HDD spins. I noticed when I power off the computer (by off switch on PSU - CPU power button completely unresponsive) the Processor fan slightly moves.
THOUGHTS: I've read several post on this site that point to bad PSU causing MoBo problems with the emachines. I chalked it up as the MoBo being dead, but when I saw the fan attempting to move I thought I could be incorrect. Any ideas?
This is my first post so I apolgize to all if this is not in the right place or forum.
Thank
