I have a older computer and all of a sudden it wont run. When I put
in my startup floppy nothing happens. The dial dont even light. I
called my grandfather because he used to fix washers dryers and
refrigerators before he retired. He asked me if its plugged in, I
said yes. Then he told me to plug a lamp into the outlet and see if it
lights up. It did. He said my computer probably needs a new tube and
told me to look for one that has the numbers 5U4 on it. He said that
is the bad tube. I cant find any tubes with that number. In fact I
cant find anything with that number. There is a thing that looks like
a spider and a couple metal boxes and on the bottom is this big brown
thing with all kinds of little funny looking things one it. Lots of
wires too. When I push the button on the back the wires move and that
wire that goes to my screen falls out if I pull the computer off the
desk. There's a round black thing in the box that looks like its been
turned or rolled over on the tiny gray round one next to it. Last
there is a ting with a smiley face on it stuck on the box. Maybe that
is what I need. But where is that tube? Please tell me. Grandpa
said I should take that tube to the drugstore and get it tested, but I
got to find it first. Need help.
I had to sneak on my parents computer bnefore they wakes up to ask
this. I Better go.
