Subject: RE: Mac IIfx update
Usually the vent fan will start spinning right away. If the
fan doesn't even jerk, then the PS may not be doing anything.
No jerk, but I've already swapped the PSU with one from another Mac II and
got similar results, though I guess it's entirely possible that one's toast
as well. Nothing obviously physically wrong with the PSU though, no bulging
caps etc. Was there a common cause of death for them?
It is starting to sound like the PS is dead.
There are no additional troubleshooting steps listed in the
Apple tech manual for the IIfx (actually, there are no
troubleshooting steps at ALL in that manual).
That's helpful of them :)
Cheers
