Hello -
I hope Bev is still around as she has been so helpful to me in the past. I have and 8400 that shut off while I was working. I thought the power to the house went out...but it was just my computer. Blinking amber light on the power button, no diagnostic lights in back. Tried to start up, nothing. Read posts here about it and tried removing CMOS for 10 minutes, removing PCI cards and disconnecting all power and connections from drives to MB (no change...still blinking light, nothing else), then did the jumping test from green to black (yes, I probably should have done that first...) and got nothing on that. No fan, nothing.
Can I definitely say it is the PSU? If so, is the PSU from a 2400 interchangeable with this one? If it isn't, are there particular brands I should look for or stay away from when purchasing a new PSU?
Thanks so much!
