My computer was running normally but then one day it would not start up.
Pushing the power button yielded nothing----, no video, no beeps, nothing!


Some trouble shooting showed if the power cord was disconnected and
reinserted, pushing the power button yielded a power light and both fans ran
for about 1 second and then nothing. Further attempts yielded nothing,
unless the power cord was again replaced.

It seems to me to be that the power supply is not seeing a good power signal
or something similar, so the motherboard will not accept power. Do you
concur or could it be something else?

I have:
replaced power supply
replaced memory
replaced CPU
and it is running on nothing but a floppy drive (video is on motherboard).

Thanks,
Clark
 
Yes.

I don't see anything obvious on the motherboard, but I was wondering if the
capacitor problem was still hanging around. The 2, 1500uF babies next to
heatsinks look a little strange, but that could just be from the heat.
