Re: IBM Thinkcentre S50 TYPE: 8086

Hi,

I had the same problem with an IBM 8086 where the fans just turn on and nothing happens. Originally it just had a bad power supply, switched it with another one and that fixed the problem. But when I put in a new power supply the thing wouldn't turn boot, just the fans and that's it.

I had a student open it up and remove the CPU heatsink and there was a loose low profile resistor (that what a friend told me they're called). I have ZERO electronics experience with soldering but was able to solder it and it worked....
