How can I turn on an old AT power supply?

Acer aspire desktop1 1/2 yr old will not turn on. probably power supply? have atx-250pa(1).should we upgrade?

  • was left in sleep mode all day and came home to no power. have tried multiple outlets to no avail. looking for atx-250 can not find original installed power supply. is it best to just upgrade?

  • Answer:

    Any off-the-shelf PSU will fit it - it's a standard connection, and you don't need to got for 250w. Anything 250w or above will be fine. Buy an el-cheapo one and see what happens. Out of interest - do you have any usb devices with an LED (memory stick, or whatever)? Then can usually help you diagnose a bad PSU. They'll flicker, rather than stay solid. Also, try a different kettle-lead. Could be something so stupid as a fuse in the plug. This isn't going to be a major problem. You don't need a new computer.
