Hello, there.
I am wondering if you can help.
It looks like I need a new FSP PSU.
I have a Packard Bell Ixtreme Gold MC 1807 desktop and recently
after being switched to hibernate it refused to do so. Well, it seems to have
shut XP and froze. I could not do anything even turn it off by pressing
and holding the power button. So I had to pull the plug.
Now after I press power the button (after the reconnection to
the power) it would not start, however, the CPU fan and the fan on the
motherboard (on the processor) spin normally, yet the HDD does not
spin.
If I want to switch the pc off (as nothing is happening, BIOS is not
loading, no beeps or anything), I have to physically pull the plug out
of the power socket as the pc does not react to my pressing the power
button at all.
The light on the motherboard is on and the light on the power
button is also (but red light, not blue).
THe monitor shows a message "check signal cable", but I think
this is because there is no signal coming to it as the cable is properly
attached. A have checked all the connectors and they are fine and there
is no sign of burn marks or smell.
My guess it is the PSU problem, perhaps, it's either broken or
become insufficiently powerful for my use (it's only 250W, the model is FSB
250-60PNA-E(PF)). In that case I need a more powerful PSU.
Can anyone please confirm/dismiss my
Appreciating your help and waiting to hear.
Best Regards
Eugene
