I am trying to sort out a powering problem with a
friends Fujitsu-Siemens computer. The machine would not power up at all. I e
ventually got it running by using a paperclip between green and one of the b
lacks on the 20pin connector going to mother board, have also replaced main
switch to mb.

Where do I go from here - is it down to a mb problem ?
Is it safe to leave paperclip in 20pin connector when connected to mb ?
Does the paperclip test guarantee that the power supply is not the problem ?

Hi!

Hmmm,... A paperclip? How resourceful of you! (And, why would you even
consider doing that?) I'm not an expert, but if you intend on leaving that
paperclip in there, I'd advise a fire extinguisher standing next to the
computer as being a wise accessory to the system.
