PC/AT "power good" problems

Power to a load tester is not the same as power in a system. It is likely that one of the other voltages, other than 5V is being loaded down with a shorted tantalum capacitor in the system. I doubt there is a problem with the supply.

My wording was probably less than precise, but ?never comes out of reset? means that it never POSTs. Nothing on the screen. No cursor. No boot message. No BASIC. Keyboard does reset though (I see the three LEDs blink on, then off). I watched for a good 5 minutes before giving up. It?s been a long time since I worked with this machine but I?m pretty sure there is a sign-on banner or something. For comparison, I pulled my old original PC (64k/256k mobo) with expansion unit and 10mb HD and it took an excruciatingly long time to boot, but it did have a blinking underline cursor on the screen while it thought about booting.
