Hey guys, any of you have an extra desktop PS that I could borrow?
If any of you have seen her problem before and know what's wrong, let me know. I think it's a dead PS.
See the eMail from my cousin Kristi...
I have a Dell desktop which seems to have been struck by the "orange light of death" (i.e., it won't turn on, the power light flashes orange instead). I've tried unplugging everything, plugging it into a different outlet, no luck. My research suggests something's gone wrong with the internal power or the motherboard. It's 7+ years old, nothing fancy, and doesn't get alot of use. In your opinion, is it worth paying to see what the problem is?
No matter what, I will need to get the data off the hard drive, but I'm told I should be able to remove that myself and buy some sort of casing that will essentially make it an external drive that I could then plug into another computer. Does that sound right to you?
Our company IT contractor offered to do either of the above for $175 + parts.
If only I had known about this problem Sunday, I could've brought it to dinner for an in person lesson!
Thanks for any advice.
