Hello
My cousin recently gave me a Dell Dimension 9100. He told me it has a geforce 6800 256mb, 2.8 ghz intel pentium D, and 3 gigs of ram. So for a free computer its pretty darn beefy. Only problem is that it doesn't work, not even a bit.
When you hit the power switch nothing happens at all inside, no fans, no spinning of the cd-rom, nothing.
When it is plugged in you can see a green LED on the motherboard light-up but so far thats the only activity.
Well I was hoping this was going to be an easy fix of replacing the PSU. No such luck there, I swapped out the PSU with the one from my current computer and received no new activity.
So now I'm wondering whats next. Is there some secret dell off switch? Or am I going to have to pull the motherboard?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
