Well, that should, but probably won't, teach me to react in panic. I wanted to make sure I had the power supply for this weekend, even tho Hers has the same model, and She's not using it these days. I got home, dismantled mine and hers, cleaedn out the dust, and swapped the supplies. Got everything put back together, all the cables connected necessary to use it, and slapped the screws and sides back on.
"Plug it in, plug it in"!. Pusha de button, no getta de power..... hmmmm.... turn the p/s switch off and on, push the button, nothing.... ok, wonder if the spot on the UPS has failed. Pull it out, plug it directly to the wall, "Ta-Da"!! ok.. so wtf with the UPS?
I turn the UPS off and back on, plug the PC back in, still nothing. Well crap. Now I've got a blown motherboard. Visions of moving everything to Hers, because we simply can't afford to replace my PC right now, nightmare when she wants to use Hers, maybe setup a dual boot somehow for her tax software....GAAAAHHHH!!! slump on my butt in the office. hmm.... what's that extra symbol on my UPS? Why is the flipping Green Mode enabled on my UPS?! Sonnava!!!!!
Disable Green Mode on UPS, push the button, computer works. Well, I guess now I've got a P/S for when I get the money for a replacement gaming pc...I think I'll go ahead and move everything to the Lian Li box I got from @
gvblake22 (before he wandered into a new home, and lost our address
). I haven't even opened the case from when I got it 2 years ago, so it will be a fun unveiling. I'll have to see if the last bits he left undone are easy to finish off for a noob, or if I'll just let them go as is.
Like I said. That oughta teach me....... but it won't
