I have been having problems with my AMD K6-2 550 MHz machine. Several
months ago, I installed a new CD-ROM drive. I did not touch anything
else, but when I booted up the machine, I got no POST beeps and no
display on the monitor. I uninstalled the drive and still nothing.
The machine was quite dusty, most notably the power supply. I blew
air inside the vents of the power supply, and voila, the machine
booted up properly.
Unfortunately, after moving the tower to another room in the house, I
get no beeps and no display. I tried booting up with just the CPU and
memory installed. I got the POST beeps indicating the video card was
not installed. I plugged the video card in and nothing happened. I
swapped in another video card and got the same result.
Could the cause of this problem be a faulty power supply? Keep in
mind that the machine worked perfectly yesterday before I moved it,
and since I had this problem before, I'm thinking there could be a
short in the power supply.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan
