Lol, compaq ps.....

[Paulson]

Well, I was wondering why my power supply on the compaq was so damn hot and I didn't feel any air.

Look back there and what do I find? Fan aint spinning.

It hasn't been spinning for 5 days, and this is my p200 server (hehehe, works good for serving up stuff)

well anyways, hopefully nothing was damaged too bad.

get a replacement from Compaq for only 150$...

 

[Paulson]

heck no!

I'll just replace the fan if it dies on me

 

[Scarpozzi]

Umm....disassemble the power supply? I'd say you'd be better off just getting a new one. They're usually industry standard. Just take it out and take a $35 hit. I had the same thing happen on my computer...the video started flaking out and that's when I knew I had heat probs. There was some major heat damage in the ps.

 

[Paulson]

Well it's only a p200 w/88 megs of ram and a 6.4 gig hard drive.

No need in spending $100 on a new ps......

All I gotta do is take the fan out...

PSes aren't $100

 

[Sugadaddy]

<< PSes aren't $100 >>

man, I'm still trying to understand the dynamics of this forum. At one time you're getting b¡tched at for not adhering to the &quot;computer hardware discussion forums&quot; clause, and other times you're being bombarded by a bunch of technowussies telling you to get a new PSU instead of replacing the fan which takes all of about 2 minutes extra over replacing the whole unit...

sheesh


/edit - needed an 's', now back off

It's called joking around, not too hard to understand...

 

[Paulson]

I'm just laughing at myself.....

and I'm not asking for help, I'm just telling my story.

 

[Ladies Man]

when you replace the fan be EXTRA careful

enough juice in there to kill you

 

[Paulson]

how bout if you take it out, and before opening it turn it on (w/out power cord plugged in obviously)

would that kill off the extra juice or not?

Sugadaddy - I wasn't talking to/about you.
