That doesn`t bother me though... I`m 10 days behind schedule... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Beck Posted May 27, 2009 Members Share Posted May 27, 2009 And sorry again about the fried PS. It all started when I took a trip to the Windy City last month (Thursday, 4/23) to hit a few music stores I hadn't been to in a while, and well... I was bored and there was the Sears Tower, and... I admit I had one too many baklava and maybe too much Coca-Cola for one day, but all I said (thought) was how cool it would be to see those lighting rods on that thing get some action, and then..."And in Chicago there a violent thunder and lightning storm rolling through Chicago last night -- as you see here, lightning striking the Sears Tower several times. The Sears Tower is this country's tallest building. And our CNN IReporter says that storm came out of, as he put it, nowhere."Lou Dobbs, April 24, 2009http://www.thenewsroom.com/details/3682818/LocalAnyway, I couldn't get it to stop and those little lightning gremlins... they get everywhere... eventually.

Members AwayEam Posted May 27, 2009 Members Share Posted May 27, 2009 HOLY {censored}, BRO $300 for a PSU?? I'm not a Mac guy, but on a PC that's a $40 (Canadian!) piece of hardware that takes 10 minutes to replace yourself. And you literally cannot screw it up. In the future, the absolute first thing to check is the fan. The PSU will not start up if the fan cannot turn. You may have been able to save yourself $300 and a few days worth of headaches by simply blowing some compressed air in there. Of course the repair shop wouldn't tell you if that was the problem... they just made $300 for 10 minutes of work. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
