New 400W PSU still won't power my 4000T + stuff. Aaargh!
« on: February 24, 2009, 10:57:07 PM »
Hello All, well I got a new 400W PSU from newegg.com for my loaded 4000T, and it still won't boot with all drives/cards installed. The specs are 400W, 32A / 5V, 40A /12V. Surely this  would be sufficient to power whatever I might have in my 4000T ??
OK, the 4000T has: CS Mk3 w/ 128MB RAM, DPS PAR card w/10GB HDD, DPS TBC 4, Video Toaster, Flyer, CD-ROM drive, CDR drive, 1GB system HDD, 4.5GB data drive. Any ideas before I pack it up and put in in my 'someday I'll fix this' pile ?

Thanks much, eveyone.

@orb85750: Yep, that's what I meant, 1GB system Drive. :)

OK, If I disconnect the 4.5 GB data HDD, The PAR card's drive,
 and 1 CD drive, the machine will boot up. The libs and WB
 install should be fine, it's a clone from my '060 A1200T.
 (I checked, and my 4000T and 1200T have exactly the same
 040/060 libs) I haven't tried removing all cards yet...
 tried pulling just the PAR and TBC, no change ....
 I suppose I just have to strip it down (again) ....

Thanks
