bad 4000t power supply?
« on: July 09, 2007, 06:18:37 PM »
I think my power supply has gone bad.  Simply can't get any action to happen.  Do I need to check with a volt meter or are there any other ways to test?
I hear regular at supplies work, but do they fit?  anybody find a good brand or have a good source?
I was running a full house, toaster/flyer, par, tbc, Picasso IV and mkII060 with 2 hard drives, so I'm sure that puts a strain on the PS.

so the general size, form factor is not an issue?  are all AT PS the same size?

ALSO how did it work out with the power switch?

Well, I still have not fixed this.  The problem is odd to me.  -when I disconnect p8/p9 connectors the power supply turns on
-once I connect the p8/p9 connectors to the MB the power supply does nothing (the fan does not come on)
-if plug in only one of the p8/p9 the power sully fan spins.
-if I plug in only hd ans such, they get power.
-I am not sure I am measuring the power the right way, but I think I get 5 volts.

HELP

I got another PS off ebay, but it was not working....
-I have removed the battery on the MB because it was not working.

Yes standard AT power supplies can be used in the 4000(t) they have the same form factor.
