Hi All
My old IBM 5150 no longer boots up. It was working last week (its used on a weekly basis to drive some special hardware) but its not very happy at the moment.
When powered on the 'A' drive shows no signs of life and the monitor is 'white screen' (like it is when not connected to the PC) so its as though it is not being told what to do, so my first thought is the power supply has gone. The fan in the power supply which does spin, but other than that it shows no signs of life whatsoever, does the fan run off 'mains' before being transformed?
Does this sound like the power supply, or is it just as likely the motherboard?
Does anybody have a stash or working 5150 parts for sale to help resolve the problem?!
Many thanks
Martin
