I had to do it didn't I? I had to brag about how good my Ubuntu box
is in the workshop... Well, it's died!!!! Though, to be fair it's
not Ubuntu it's actually hardware. Trouble is I'm not sure what. The
CPU fan comes on so some power is getting through the PSU. None of
the optical drive bays will open or even flicker the power light so,
no power to them. I haven't yet had the multimeter on the PSU. I
have swapped it out only to have the same happen with another one that
I thought was a good 'un. I've swapped out the CPU... still the same.
No cap's are blown on the motherboard but I'm starting to think
motherboard now :-( I have some things to try but any suggestions are
welcome as to what to look at next.

Check the reset switch isn't stuck in or shorted - had that happen to me before...

Sadly, this particular box doesn't have a reset switch :-( I did
check the jumpers for it though and they are connected or shorted in
any way.

New subject: Seagate 7200.10 / IDE Controller
Hi,
A friend of mine has an IOMEGA USB drive which stopped working. It had not
been used for a few weeks and now it wont connect. All his data is on it and
he is just a teensy bit desperate.
Anyway, he popped it round to me and after opening the case I could smell
the problem. The power component on the controller board had burned out. I
tried a sata controller of an identical drive with exactly the same
interfaces but its not recognised by the bios. The drive spins up though.
So has anybody got a Seagate IDE Drive with a working controller on it
they'd like to give away/sell? I could even borrow it for a bit. Its just
to recover the data and transfer it to another drive. Of course, I might be
wasting my time but I need to try.
Dive Details:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250Gb (but board could be from any
capacity)
Model: ST90E1BMJZ
Firmware: 3 AAC
Hope someone can help.
Many thanks, Walt

I may actually have one of these in Stone. I will check the part numbers and
such when I get in tomorrow.

Just looking at this drive, it is a 7200.7 ST3100011A. 100GB variant,
I don't know whether or not that is useful to you.

Well I could try it. But, is it PATA controller? I know SATA doesn't work.
I'll see if I can find a picture of the controller to make sure it fits
7200.10 board I've got. I'll let you know.
Thanks for all your help, appreciate it. If you are at the meeting on
Monday I could have a look at it then.
Regards, Walt

It is PATA. I am not certain about the meeting, I may be able to make it.

No worries, it probably wouldn't have worked anyway. I'll keep digging but
many thanks for trying to assist.

You might have already done this, but I'd try it with all drives and
add-on cards (except video) disconnected and see if you get anything.

Ah, now that is another option I can try. I have another PSU that is
definitely working as it is in another PC. I shall whip it out of the
working PC and just hook it up this afternoon. Then, after I've tried
everything else I can double check the CPU's in this very machine that
I am working on now. It will be a fun afternoon.....
Thank you for the suggestions.
