So, my TU-81+ doesn't want to power up. I've found the "hidden"
power switch under the cover that I've flipped back and forth a
couple of times, I've made sure the 110/220V jumper was set
properly (110V), and tried different power cords, all to no avail.
(I've bypassed the power controller in the rack and directly hooked
the drive to an outlet.)
This is all logical and good!
The power supply "sounds" like it's
getting some power when I plug
it in, as I hear a small arc, presumably charging up some
capacitors. However, the fan doesn't start up, and none of the
front panel lights.
This is Very Bad! One should not hear 'a small arc' !! charging
capacitors does not make a noise... ;{ I would think the next step would be to aquire the
engineering
printsets and some expert assistance and remove, trouble-shoot,
repair, and replace the Power Supply - I thinks it's woofed it's
cookies on ya...
Yeah, well, if I could find the print sets, I wouldn't have posted the
question so quickly. :)
