Jumper the atx connector to trigger the PSU to turn on and then use a volt meter to test all the voltage rails.

Pchoarderpatrol helped me with pinout. Thanks. Unfortunately, the machine do not work. When I power it up I hear a little “click” on the psu, but nothing else. Nothing spins or bleeps. I used the 460w version of the Compaq PSU, much cheaper but with different specs. Could be this the reason? The …

Network sharing files is honestly the best. It makes life simpler without having to use a floppy, zip, CD, or USB drive just drag and drop your files and your all set. If you want to get deeper into the weeds you can store your CD ISO's on one machine and just mount them on the system you want to …

I got this Silverstone Raven RV01 case from a friend of mine (he wanted to trash it) Also got this bunch of PSION organizers in various version from a daughter of an electronics professor who passed away due to COVID. All do seem to work. Apparently he was building some expansions because I also …

What you can try doing is while the computer is on is to push on each ram module. If one of the bga balls has cracked or got damaged then pushing on the chip will make better contact and temporarily fix the issue.

Got this Silverstone MFP51 display (from 2007) for 5.25" drivebay yesterday. I always wanted a display to show the system status. ... now I have to find out if it still works with my current Windows 10 PC (maybe with Aida64?) or if it is more of a vintage item for one of my retro-PCs ... e28857a8- …

Fully disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and reassembled the AT keyboard I recently found at the thrift store for I think $3. It's rare enough to find PS2 keyboards at the thrift, but when I saw this AT one I was super stoked. Hopefully it works! https://i.ibb.co/3pKGhrt/20230129-142944.jpg That …

When I was a kid I loved the fun add-ons from installing plus! On 95 and then 98 when we upgraded a few years later. I used to spend quite a bit of time playing with the different themes and sounds good memories.
