Re: power supply question

I went to boot up my system today and when I pressed the power switch all the fans in the system started up for a couple of seconds then stopped and nothing else happened. So I switched from the battery backup to the wall outlet and tried again and then the fans wouldn't even spin (and when I switched back to the battery back they are also still dead)... so I'm assuming a dead power supply, but I still have a green light on my motherboard... does this sound like a dead power supply to everyone else?



Your start switch could be stuck on. That's what happens if you hold the switch in. Try another switch.
