Just been handed back a computer that I earlier gave to friends that were in need of one. It has a problem and I said I'd take a look at it to see if it's something relatively easy to repair. I have never had any reason to give a computers power supply a first look before but at first glance I believe that is the problem. Correct me if I'm wrong. Here's what I have:
A computer power light glows amber as soon as the line cord is plugged in. There is no response when pushing or holding the power button. I removed the power supply and started to check voltages. I only found
5.25 volts and 6.5 volts on two pins on the largest power plug that goes to the mother board. The power supply fan never turned on.I know somebody on this group can give me some advice on the info I have given. I'll admit it. I'm lazy and would rather just ask questions rather than dig in or research further. I don't even know if all computer power supplies and plugs are standard. Any help would be appreciated.
