IBM P260 type 6553-23N repair

Nov 01, 2006 1 Replies

Just picked this unit up for price of a cup of coffee. Previous user said sometimes it didn't start up. Sure sure I can't seem to get it to start at all via the VGA 15 pin conector when I move the cable from a working monitor to the P260. Don't have a DVI cable nor card to drive it so can't test that. The power indicator bulb by the power switch flashes on/off green at about 1 flash per second so I assume the low voltage section is working at least partially. No clicking noises to indicate power supply turn on attempts, no H.V. power supply whine or static on front screen to indicate H.V. presence



Ok, laugh away, but I have to ask. Any chance on a service manual about?



Any hints or tips before I crack the case (or my back trying to lift this pig!)?



Thanks,



Steve


I've just picked up a pair of these myself the other day for a nice price, stumbled across this while looking for a service manual. It's probably a long shot but any chance you missed the small black switch on the front panel that switches between the DVI and VGA connector?
