i had this P2 compaq system that doesn't allow me to exchange the PSU
i think those engineers had did some trick which made the system work with certain PSUs
i tried to replace it with two other good PSUs but my system failed to boot, where the screen doesn't go on, no beeping sound, etc. when i plug back the old PSU from compaq the system would boot up fine. is there anyway i can get around this? thanks
just to note that this system is like 7 years old now (yes! such a long lifespan)
P2 450 <-- does a good job on win XP
256MB ram <-- 3 stick of ram, it's a good thing that the MB had 3 dimms
40GB HD <-- trying to get an 120GB HD for it, don't know if it'll work
