Hello!
First I want to excuse me for my bad English but I'm from Germany..
Some time ago I wanted to start my old IBM XT 5160, which has always worked before. But now, when I want to start up the system only the fan of the power supply unit starts up and the 10mb harddrive also makes "some noise" .
Nothing else happens so I cannot see anything on the monitor or hear any beeps from the small speaker. It also doesn't react on any commands frome the keyboard...
The System is an old IBM XT 5160 which has a full size 5 1/4"" floppy drive and a full size hard drive. It also has a color graphics card and a color monitor.
I am not familiar with this kind of old hardware so I hope that someone around here can help and tell me, what I can do or what is broken on this old machine.
I would like to give you some further imformation, but I don't know what I can tell you about the machine, that will help you!
Thank you in advance!
