Your party has gained an item |9:48 PM| New edit. The computer is mostly functional it was a grounding of the power supply issue. Thank goodness.
I'm dealing with replacing the powersupply in a computer. So far I have swapped the motherboard, and the powersupply.Given the chance, I would murder every human being at the electric company with my bare hands.
At this point, after a couple hours of work, I posted my question to a hardware forum. The most promising answers involved a grounding issue with the power supply itself. One of the tests involved fooling the power supply into turning on, with the use of a paper clip.
I do not have any paper clips. Attemps to build a paper clip out of a wire hanger with my leatherman resulted in hand injuries, and the bit of wire did not do the trick anyway. This post is about the search for a paper clip in my apartment.
Items found while seeking a paper clip:
A birthday party whistle
A lava lamp replacement bulb
Marknet box that is very dead (Black)
a crapload of screws
A guitar pick
Small geode (uncut)
That dart that went missing
My chopstick that is part of a pair of which the other is under the oven
A thimble from Las Vegas that was supposed to go to Zusty
A fork
