Hinker) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.hardware Subject: Amiga 2000 Power supply problem Message-ID: Date: 24 Oct 90 14:33:26 GMT Sender: news@lanl.gov Reply-To: hinker@acl.lanl.gov Organization: Advanced Computing Lab, LANL, NM Lines: 23 I think I have a problem with the power supply in my Amiga 2000. About a month ago, I added a 2-Meg card (complete with memory) to my machine. Since then there's been a high pitched whine coming from the back of the machine. I thought that it was just my fan finally giving up the ghost but now I'm not too sure. I was crunching along on a ray-trace a couple of nights ago when all of a sudden the machine just went dead. Now when I turn it on, the power light comes on and the disk drives start to spin up and then it shuts off. Like a breaker going out. The lights only stay on maybe a second and then nothing. Is this a power supply problem or something more insidious? The fuse in the power supply is good and there don't seem to be any shorts that I can detect. Any help would be greatly appreciated, -- Paul Hinker hinker@acl.lanl.gov /// If it works, it's not state-of-the-art MS B287 505-665-4531 /// --Hansen's Law Los Alamos National Labs ACL \\\/// All our stuff is broke Los Alamos, NM 87545 \XX/ --Forslund's Corollary
