Gentle(wo)men, my Compaq 286 SLT is dead to the point of no power light on and switching to a working power supply did not help. So I got out the internal power supply hoping to find something. But I am not good enough at this, so I need your help. There is some green gunk on the contacts (no idea what they do), but aside from that everything looks pretty happy in here. Any ideas what to check for or do? Thank you & kind regards, Alex
P.S.: Ok I connected the power and measured all the PINs on the band connector that goes to the mainboard. The only significant voltage I got was 17.7V (???) vs. the chasis. I was expecting +/-12 or 5 but 17... But at least there seems to be some Power, but the Power Lights are always off. Best.
