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...
Cheers
