I've ripped the whole power supply out of the machine and
it has no life at all, no fans, nothing.  Unfortunately
I had two machines up in the attic but both power supplies
didn't have the amps.  Looks like I'm making a purchase
tomorrow.

It was fun to stand in the kitchen with a disembodied 
power supply and tell my wife, "Honey, we need a new
one of these."  Felt like an auto mechanic.
