Hi Everyone,
Recently I bought a cheap Aptiva, it's a lovely looking case with K6-2 processor inside. Unfortunately it looks like it's dead.
After I power it on, the screen will show the Aptiva logo, however nothing else happens. Keyboard (which I'm sure is working) only blinks the light when I power on the computer, but then none of the lights stays on. The fan on the processor is not spinning, however when I touch the radiator it gets hot pretty quickly.
I disconnected all the drives to make sure that none of the cables causes a short circuit, it didn't help though.
Does anyone have an idea what might be the problem? Is it dead motherboard or a dead processor or both or something else. I'm not entirely sure about the motherboard because it has an integrated graphics card which gives some output, on the other hand the fan on the processor doesn't spin.
