hi all, my 1st post here.
I have a dell gx260, celery 1.7ghz cpu, 512 meg, 40 gig hd.
sometimes the power switch works fine, sometimes it doesn't work at all. by that I mean it does nothing! no lights/beeps/fans.
it's as though it's not even connected (I checked & it is).
I've seen this before on other systems & I've always tossed the whole box before (minus ram/drives/cpu/fans/battery/cards) but I'm hoping that someone out there knows of this prob & better yet, knows a fix for it.
I rebuild old systems & give them away to schoolkids who are trying hard in class & who's parents can't afford to buy them one. it's mostly old p1 machines, some p2s and the occasional p3, but I'd really like to give something a bit better, like for the top (financially challenged) student of the year or similar.
