Hi all:

I have a big problem with my computer, not NY Nana's. It is an old Gateway that we got December 1998. I tried to turn it on yesterday and nothing happened. The button turned yellow but nothing works. When I opened the case there is a green light on on the motherboard, but nothing else. The power supply does not start nor does anything else.
Any suggestions on what I might be able to do to get the old unit working again?
Thanks all.

re: #21 NY Grampa

unplug the power supply from the back of the computer not just the wall. leave it unplugged like 5 minutes then plug it back in and try it.
i have a power supply on one of my kids computers that does that, i just leave it on all the time now because it does that randomly and its a pain.
also make sure there isnt a little toggle switch there at the power supply input that may have been switched, not sure if power supplies had those in 98 tho.

re: #50 NY Grampa

There are two fans, one on the power supply, one over the motherboard. Neither runs.

I am pretty sure it is the power supply. Go with the "disconnect and wait" advice from upthread. I'd wait 20 minutes just to be sure. If it doesn't fire up after that, try one more thing - see if you can replace the power cord and give it a try. Low likelihood of it being the power cord, but try it to be sure.

BTW - Is the green light on the motherboard by chance associated with the Ethernet cable port? That may be where it is getting its power.

Mr Eliseev reaffirmed the Ukrainian side’s readiness to assist Georgia in overcoming the crisis. He also focused on the measures considered to be expedient in terms of Ukraine’s national security interests.

re: #55 LEGION

Malt does more than Milton can
To Justify God's ways to man...

Here's the poem, "Terrence this is stupid stuff", by A.E. Housmann

"Terence, this is stupid stuff:
You eat your victuals fast enough;
There can't be much amiss, 'tis clear,
To see the rate you drink your beer.
But oh, good Lord, the verse you make,
It gives a chap the belly-ache.
The cow, the old cow, she is dead;
It sleeps well, the horned head:
We poor lads, 'tis our turn now
To hear such tunes as killed the cow.
Pretty friendship 'tis to rhyme
Your friends to death before their time
Moping melancholy mad:
Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad."

Why, if 'tis dancing you would be
There's brisker pipes than poetry.
Say, for what were hop-yards meant,
Or why was Burton built on Trent?
Oh, many a peer of England brews
Livelier liquor than the Muse,
And malt does more than Milton can
To justify God's ways to man.
Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink
For fellows whom it hurts to think:
Look into the pewter pot
To see the world as the world's not.
And faith, 'tis pleasant till 'tis past:
The mischief is that 'twill not last.
Oh I have been to Ludlow fair
And left my necktie god knows where,
And carried half-way home, or near,
Pints and quarts of Ludlow beer:
Then the world seemed none so bad,
And I myself a sterling lad;
And down in lovely muck I've lain,
Happy till I woke again.
Then I saw the morning sky:
Heigho, the tale was all a lie;
The world, it was the old world yet,
I was I, my things were wet,
And nothing now remained to do
But begin the game anew.

Therefore, since the world has still
Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure
Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would,
And train for ill and not for good.
'Tis true, the stuff I bring for sale
Is not so brisk a brew as ale:
Out of a stem that scored the hand
I wrung it in a weary land.
But take it: if the smack is sour,
The better for the embittered hour;
It should do good to heart and head
When your soul is in my soul's stead;
And I will friend you, if I may,
In the dark and cloudy day.

There was a king reigned in the East:
There, when kings will sit to feast,
They get their fill before they think
With poisoned meat and poisoned drink.
He gathered all that springs to birth
From the many-venomed earth;
First a little, thence to more,
He sampled all her killing store;
And easy, smiling, seasoned sound,
Sate the king when healths went round.
They put arsenic in his meat
And stared aghast to watch him eat;
They poured strychnine in his cup
And shook to see him drink it up:
They shook, they stared as white's their shirt:
Them it was their poison hurt
- I tell the tale that I heard told.
Mithridates, he died old.

Biden's career provides grist for McCain's mill

In August 2007, three men who later became entangled in a Mississippi bribery scheme raised money for Sen. Joe Biden's run for president.

A month later, two of the three were overheard in a phone call recorded by the FBI discussing federal legislation and a prospective meeting with Biden's brother, Jim.

It's unclear whether any meeting ever occurred or whether legislation was ever discussed, so the episode may mean little — except as an example of the potential political vulnerabilities that Barack Obama's running mate brings to the Democratic ticket.

re: #77 karmic_inquisitor

I am pretty sure it is the power supply. Go with the "disconnect and wait" advice from upthread. I'd wait 20 minutes just to be sure. If it doesn't fire up after that, try one more thing - see if you can replace the power cord and give it a try. Low likelihood of it being the power cord, but try it to be sure.

BTW - Is the green light on the motherboard by chance associated with the Ethernet cable port? That may be where it is getting its power.

If you have a green LED on, chances are you have at least the standby +5V working on the PS. There is a green wire going to your motherboard power
Connector that is grounded when you press the ON button. This turns the power supply ON. Perhaps the ON-OFF switch is broken. It connects to a dual header socket to the mother board.
Power supplies are cheap and pretty much standard [except DELL]. Replace it if all you do is E-Mail and web-surf.

You're assuming the conservative and republicans would be ok with McCain entertaining Hillary. I doubt they would be. Hillary is a hot potato and people give her way too much credit. I think it's high time the Clintons exit stage left. The PUMAs might vote for McCain anyway. I don't think it's worth upsetting the "right". He was on shaky ground with them anyway.

From Wikipedia (yeah, I know, I know, but it's footnoted): Garner once described the office of the vice presidency as being "not worth a bucket of warm piss."[1] [This quote was Bowdlerized for many decades to "not worth a bucket of warm spit" by the media.

re: #39 trailortrash

The basic theory of circuit breakers is that there are two parts. 1 part is a solenoid which if it gets a lot of current through it opens the circuit immediately. The other is a bi-metallic strip when too much current goes through the strip for too long it gets too warm and opens the circuit. AC breakers do not have an in and an out. (Given that the current goes in and then comes out, that is rather logical). DC breakers DO have a positive and negative end since the solenoid has to pull the circuit open and not jam the circuit shut tighter. Magnetism is like that I am afraid.

It sounds like the power supply is being run at the edge of its rating. Either that or the bi-metallic strip is defective. Removing the power from the wall for a period of time will let the bi-metallic strip cool down, but if this gets to be to big a pain, I would consider getting a bigger power supply.

Isn't Biden a plagiarist?

September 1987. "...the campaign ran into serious trouble when he was accused of plagiarizing a speech by Neil Kinnock, then-leader of the British Labour Party. Though Biden had correctly credited the original author in all speeches but one, the one where he failed to make mention of the originator was caught on video; the New York Times reported 'Senator Biden began his remarks by saying the ideas had come to him spontaneously on the way to the debate.'"

From Joe's Wikipedia page.

re: #235 Crimsonfisted

re: #243 victor_yugo

Senator Biden began his remarks by saying the ideas had come to him spontaneously on the way to the debate..

There is a big difference between failing to reference a source and specifically stating these are your thoughts.

Dang, there's more:

Within days, it was also discovered that as a first-year law student at Syracuse Law School, Biden had plagiarized a law review article in a class paper he wrote. Though the dean of the law school in 1988 as well as Biden's former professor played down the incident of plagiarism, they did find that Biden drew "chunks of heavy legal prose directly from" the article in question. Biden said the act was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and Biden was permitted to retake the course after receiving a grade of F, which was subsequently dropped from his record. Biden also released his undergraduate grades, which started off poorly and remained unexceptional. Further, when questioned by a New Hampshire resident about his grades in law school Biden had claimed falsely to have graduated in the "top half" of his class, (when he actually graduated 76th in a class of 85) that he had attended on a full scholarship, and had received three degrees. In fact he had received two majors, History and Political Science, and a single B.A., as well as a half scholarship based on financial need.

Faced with these revelations, Biden withdrew from the nomination race on September 23, 1987, saying his candidacy had been overrun by "the exaggerated shadow" of his mistakes. After Biden withdrew from the race it was learned that the Dukakis campaign had secretly made a video showcasing the Biden/Kinnock comparison and distributed it to news outlets. Dukakis fired John Sasso, his campaign manager and long-time Chief of Staff.
