Obviously no one can know for sure without looking directly at the computer itself but just for kicks and giggles for anyone out there who wants to take a stab at it, did I mess this computer up?
I lucked up and won what I believe are a couple of old 386's at an estate auction recently. I don't have a working monitor to check them completely but one powered up and run okay for several minutes with no apparent problems but the other looked like it started to come on then immediately shut down with the cooling fan making maybe only one or two revolutions before stopping.
I immediately shut off the switch and unplugged the cord but I know it was probably already damaged. My question is do these type of computers have a fuse or circuit breaker that trips to prevent damaging the entire system that I could check?
This computer has a DTK Model PIP-151 power supply. I believe it is a DTK Model DATA-1000
