My relatively new GS (December) died last night.  There was a 'crackle' and the
computer died.  The green power light on the CPU is off.  The green power light
on the Monitor is on.

I assume that this is a power problem.  I checked all the cables and outlets;
the all seem OK.  I open the CPU box and tried to look at the power supply, but
at the moment I don't have a phillips head small enough to take off the power
supply lid.  Is there anything inside the power supply that a reasonably
competent owner can fix?  What should I be looking for.

If I have to turn this over to a service person, is it any cheaper to give them
just the power supply?  If so, I need to check it; what are the output
voltages.

Lastly, am I missing some obvious (or not so obvious) alternative
analysis of the problemr?  Thanks for your help.             jb.
