|    RETAIN tip H123427 UNDETERMINED PROBLEM     |
|    14 Jan 23 08:22:26    |
      From: ohland@charter.net              UNDETERMINED PROBLEM (SYSTEM DEAD)               Symptom:        Personal Computer System will not power up or powers down        immediately after being turned on. The cooling fan may start        to turn, and/or the power-good light may flicker then turn        off. The power supply will not stay on long enough to allow        voltage measurements.               Problem Determination:        -Systems with auto-switching power supplies should be plugged        directly into a wall receptacle, not into a power strip or        surge protector.        -Systems with switchable power supplies (115v/220v) must be set        to the correct voltage setting.        -The following switches may be checked with meter to verify        correct operation:        * Power switches that connect to the system board        * C-2 security (Cover Lock and Tamper-Evident) switches        | (these two switches and related cables must be connected        | and operating correctly before the system will power on)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
