Please log in for more thread options of course it might noty be that simple, what colour is the power on button
when it will not work? steady Amber or flashing amber, also have a look
inside the machine and just check the capacitors to see if they are all flat
and cylindrical rather than bulging or even leaking.
If its the capcitors then its a new systemboard needed, if its a flashing
amber its a board and possibly a CPU and if its a flashing amber then its
the PSU
